Hello! I have a file that was initially set to Never Replace and with the attribute set to remove the file if the program is uninstalled. Is it possible to update the uninstall attribute for a file without actually replacing it? The file I want to update is a database file so replacing it with a new file would erase the database. I need a solution that would correct the issue for old installs without making those users have to start over with a new database. Any assistance or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

That is a good question. I will have to give it some thoughts. From the technical point-of-view, the solution is to loop through the uninstall .log and remove the file from the list.
