Wix - Keep Folders after uninstall
I want to create an installer using Wix that copies a certain file to the folder "C:\Users\Your User\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\"
When I write the following code:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="PersonalFolder">
<Directory Id="VS2010" Name="Visual Studio 2010">
<D开发者_StackOverflow中文版irectory Id="VSAddins" Name="Addins">
<Component Id="VSAddin" Guid="Some Guid">
<File Id="MyAddin.Addin" Name="MyAddin.Addin" DiskId="1" Source="..\Resources\" />
<RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\ABCD\MY_Addins'
Type='string' Value='MY_Addin'
KeyPath='yes' />
</Component>
</Directory>
I get the following compilation error:
ICE64: The directory VS2010 is in the user profile but is not listed in the RemoveFile table.
How can I overcome this error?
I know that i can add the following code inside the "Component" scope:
<RemoveFolder Id="VS2010" On='uninstall'/>
But I don't want the uninstall to delete folders that i didn't create (Especially the Visual Studio 2010 one...)
Thank you for your help, Maxim
May I ask why you are putting it in the users's profile instead of installing it for all users? I find per-user components create all kinds of servicing problems downn the road. Instead, for my IsWiX project I deploy my AddIn to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns.
