    PDWizard overwriting database

    I'm using the Package and Deployment Wizard and I can't figure out how to stop the installer from overwriting an already existing file. I saw a couple posts below about a onlyifdoesntexist flag for Inno Setup but I don't think that applies to the PDWizard. Is there a similar solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forums.

    It has been a while since I've used the P&DW, but I do remember this problem.

    I used to get around it by having two installation packages. One for my project and one just for the Access database I was rolling out. For a first time install, you had to run both.

    For each subsequent update rollout, I simply sent the first package contain changes to my code.

    jloftus576,

    Isn't that a good enough reason to switch... Please read Installation Problems in my signature.
