Dears,

I have 3 parts in my ppcic project, our application, .netcf and flash player. When I run install, it default show a dialog which can select one or all component.
The problem is, when user only check only one or two components, it will still try to install all of 3. So activesync show \".netcf is already install, do you want to reinstall it?\".
Is there any option I miss?

Another question, can I force the .netcf should be install? If installation of netcf failed, then our application can`t install too?

Thanks

Joey

Hi,
I can't replicate the error. When I choose to install only two components, then two components are installed.

When the user don't selects the .net component then no cab files are installed. So activesync can't even start the installation.

UPDATE:
Just realize what happens. The problem is that you installs your program, before uninstalling a previous installed version.

So, if there is a previous installed version which the user has selected the .netcf component, then these files are installed. If you try to install again, even with .netcf2 unselected, then the installer will find the .netcf2 files and will try to install them.

One solution is to warn user that a previous version is installed and to uninstall first. One other is to delete everything from the target directory prior of the installation ( not good, imaging hat the user wants to install to windows directory )

For my opinion the best solution is the installer to delete only the files that is related to activesync in the user's selected installation directory, just before the installation, in case that they exists. Of course this behavior will be customized via an option in the advanced builder dialog.

Do you prefer this solution ?
