Do not overwrite config files during update

There's a config file that the user changes after installing our software.If I include that config file in my WyBuild update, it overwrites the file in the customer's installation location.

If I don't include the config file in the update, it deletes the config file already there.

Is there any way to specify to not overwrite the file during the update if it's already there?

thanks

Just to clarify, that config file is shipped as part of our software during the initial install. It's located in the application folder.

If I include that config file in my WyBuild update, it overwrites the file in the customer's installation location.

This is a good question, we've recently updated our FAQ to include the answer to this. See: FAQ: What's the best way to update config files?

If I don't include the config file in the update, it deletes the config file already there.

Remove the files from every version inside wyBuild so wyBuild won't touch the file. See: FAQ: How wyBuild compares versions of your software.
