How do you ignore a file/folder if it already exists when running the installation for a second time

Hi,

I’m trying to build an updater for my exeoutput application but in Paquet Builder i’m unable to figure out how to make the installer ignore existing files.

For example: I don’t want the mysql folder to be overwritten if it already exists, however on the initial install I want it to be copied.

Is there a way to do this?

If not would it be more efficient to have an update installer which doesn’t have the files I want overwriting then another installer with everything?

ExeOutput will be downloading the installer everytime a new version is found.

You can do this:


And to replace the .EXE, just delete it with a custom action here before extraction:
