Setup project: how to stop it removing modified config file on uninstall?

Hi,

I have a setup project; one of the files that gets installed is a .config
file. If a user modifies the .config file and then un-installs my app, I'd
like the .config file to NOT get deleted by the uninstall (so that when he
re-installs later his modified .config file is used rather than the default
one that the installer would normally use). Is this possible?
