I will be adding a windows installer package to the next update I do.This will install an new add-on application to my project and is written in VB.Net.My standard Application in VB6
So in Wyupdate:My plan is to create a new key [Update Required] and assign the value yes to itindicating the .msi must be run before the new.exe. (an update situation exists).This key will then be set to no by the .msi after a completed install.I know if I remove files from the current update folder those fileswill be deleted from the users application folder.I would use this same process each time I update the .msi.
My question is if I omit the new key setting for updates that do not requirethe .msi to be replaced will it delete the key or leave it unchanged?
Thanks

wyBuild doesn't compare the registry changes (it's too complex a problem). So it takes the registry changes of the latest version as literal.
So if you omit a key that was in a previous update, then when wyUpdate installs the new version it will leave the registry key/value completely untouched.
Does that make sense?
Perfectly... thanksI too was having trouble explaining what my process was going to be but you nailed it!
