This functionality is built into the install process. If you check your
log you should see it removing files that are not longer require and
files being upgraded. Are you trying to remove files that are not
created by the install?

Subject: What is the best way to congifure a pmdoc file to carry out an
upgrade if an older version of the product is found by the installer?
I am trying to create an installer (using the PM 3.x GUI) that is smart
enough to remove an older version of my program if the installer finds
one
during the installation process. So far, I am trying to implement this
with
a preupgrade script that looks for the (possibly) installed file and
then
removes it and its prefs. At that point, I expect the installer to
install
the new version.
However, the preupgrade script never seems to execute, and in my
install.log, I see reference to 'skipping MyApplication'.
I hope that this isn't too vague. I am trying to make the move over from
working with packagemaker strictly on the command line to using the gui
to
make a pmdoc and run that from the command line to get around the
'relocate'
problem that I have read about (and experienced)>
Thanks for any and all advice.
Regards,
Steve O'Sullivan
