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.]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2015 08:09:44 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=369 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 23:48:27 GMT
