How do I stop Windows Installer overwriting a previously installed file?

Hi All,

My first post on this forum so go easy!

I'm a new user of VB.NET and creating my first deployment project.

All going ok.

For one of my included files I've changed the Permanent property to True in the File System window. This now prevents an un-install from removing that file. However I'd then like any future installs not to overwrite that file either.

How do I stop the subsequent installs from doing that?

Look forward to your ideas.
