When installing my application from a setup.exe created by the padw, I am asked about a dozen times whether I want to keep the existing file (recommended) or overwrite. Since there is no option for keep ALL (as opposed to the option for overwrite ALL), I want to not bother to ask in the case of many of my files. Is there some place in the setup.lst file I can modify to say "Don't bother to ask, just keep the existing file" without modifying the setup1.exe file. I found the following information on MS' website:
If Setup1.exe determines that the source file is newer than the destination file, the destination file is overwritten automatically. However, if Setup1.exe determines that the source file is older than the destination file, it takes one of the following actions:
If you used the Visual Basic 4.0 or 5.0 Setup Wizard, the destination file is kept if it is newer.
-or-
If you used the Visual Basic 6.0 PDW, Setup1.exe notifies end users and allows them to decide whether to keep the destination file, overwrite the destination file with the older source file, or overwrite all files.
So I would like it to behave like the PDW from VB 4 or 5, preferably only on certain files. It would seem to me that ONE of those darned fields would have something to do with this! (Overwrite, Yes, No, Ask)
Thanks!
