how to avoid overwriting files during installation

Subject: how to avoid overwriting files during installation
From: Patrick Litterst <email@hidden>

I've created a .mpkg installer using PackageMaker that contains two packages: one package contains an application that gets installed in the Applications folder, and the other package contains files that get installed elsewhere on the computer.

If the user reinstalls the application using the .mpkg installer, the files (which the user may have modified prior to reinstallation) will be overridden.

How can I prevent these files from getting overridden during reinstallation of the software? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
