Create update package

Hi,

I have a solution that includes a deployment project. The solution contains
a database file (access). Now I'd like to exclude the database and only
deploy an updated version of the other files - so far so good. Hence, all
the old files, except the database, should be written over and replaced by
the new ones (this should work as an update). How do I set this up in the
deployment project properties? All I get when I try to install the new
update project is a warning that a
version of the software already is installed and that I have to remove the
old one, and by doing that I also remove the old database which I'd like to
keep...

I hope someone could give me a couple of hint or a link to an article.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I remember there is an option for a file whether it should be uninstalled or
should remain in the system even after the uninstall. I think keeping the
Access database after uninstall would be a good idea as it contains user's
data - and this should solve your problem as well.
