Second it overwrite the old program folder with the fresh files eventually preserving the Update No Copy Files file list. Third it updates the SyItem entries if necessary. If something goes wrong the new folder is deleted and the trashed one is completely restored. It's a very conservative way to deploy an update and maybe a bit expensive (time and disk space) but it is a good way to preserve any settings the user created. The only con with this method is that it could leave useless old files in place but usually it is not harmful for a program.

For example, rainmeter has a skins folder, so would contain many user files. I just needed to know they are kept intact. Space isn't an issue for me and I like the way you've done it, great job!
