Hi,

does anybody know how can I prevent from deleting a file on unistall?

My application works with a database, and I copy the empty database on installation of the program.

The problem is that the uninstalling the program the database is deleted, even if it has been modified.

How can I prevent this behaviour????

I will not use the application myself so it is important to solve this without giving problems to the user.


Thanks in advance.
