Hello everyone

I'm making an installer that the first time installs some content in Library/Application Support/My Company/My Product/Content/Subfolders...

as well as the software plugins in other different locations/paths. The plugins read info from the above location.

Later on I will update the sofware plugins with a different installer as well as some other stuff in Library/Application Support/My Company/Different Folder/Subfolders.

This second update installer doesn't have content to be installed so it's not as big as the first Content one.

However when I prepare it, whether I have the "Content" folder and subfolders empty or not have it at al in the Packages project, running it deletes the contents of that folder or deletes the entire folder respectively.

Is there a way around this or am I missing something obvious?

Yes. Don't use the same package identifier for your update package. Otherwise you'll see the behavior you describe as the Installer assumes your new package is claiming you don't need those files any longer. If your main installer has an identifier of com.foo.bar, your update pkg could have an identifier of com.foo.bar_update.

Thanks in advance for your help. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
