My uninstall removes the files from system directory

[Prashanth Kumar]

Hi All,

I am writing install for our product using InstallShield3. I am installing
it through setup.exe. while installing i am copying some files to system
directory. if the file which i am copying to system directoy already exists
then i check for the version of it.. if my version of file is higher than
the already existing file. then i am updating it with my file.

Now, the problem is when i say uninstall... the default uninstall removes
the files from system directory also, which i didnot want.

How can i prevent installshield from removing the files from system
directory when i say unistall.

Any clue or hint will help me greatly.

Thanx in advance

Use XCopyFile within your fileset block with the SHAREDFILE option.
