Re: [Never Replace] Question

Hello,

The compiler resolves the *.* at compile time to individual files. At installer runtime it skips the individual file.

[Never Replace] Question

The following Install Files line is from a new install we are doing.

Install File "C:\Data New\*.*" to "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\SRsmpl\*.*" [Feat:Always Install] [Never Replace]

When a Install File line lists a single file by name, it is obvious that [Never Replace] will prevent the install program from over writing an existing file of the same name. In the example given, the file spec is "*.*" which include several files (over 80).

Will the "Install File" command check each file individually to see if it is already on the target system? If so, does the install quit installing the "*.*" file list at that point or does it move on to the next file in the list?

Couldn't find the answer in the docs or the forum.
