List of forum topicsSubject: maintain folder and files during the unistall
During unistall process I want to maintain a folder with files, How can I make this?
What do you mean? Do you want not to delete a folder?
The best way is to use Uninstall Log Off/On command during the installation process. Like this
Uninstall Log: Off
Installation Files
Uninstall Log: On
If you need a more complex situation then you should modify Uninstall Script.
Is it also on free version?
Not, it is not. The 'Uninstall log Mode' command is available in the Light or full version.

I bought light version, I have three folders: scenery, texture that are into other folder ( i must delete it), and other folder that I must maintain (called effects).
This are two photos, what do I make?

Now you have switch off uninstall log for all files. So, no files will be deleted during the uninstallation.
For example, you have two folder
c:\notprotected and c:\protected.
You need that protected is ignored by the uninstaller. In this case, your Install script can looks like
Dialog - Progress
Uninstall Log : Off
Installation Files: c:\protected
Uninstall Log: On
Installation Files: c:\notprotected
.....
You can send your .ci project file to info@createinstall.com with 'CreateInstall' subject if something is wrong.
Also, I recommend you to uninstall the previous installation before the each new test.
I tried and now with your help works ! Thanks for your advice!
