| Summary | 0002101: Script files can be overwritten by installer | ||||
| Description | As described in the forums, script files are overwritten by the installer and this can be problematic for users who have created custom versions of their script files. A good default behaviour would be to have the installer create e.g. script.vbs.bak for each script that is overwritten. | ||||

I'd like to do something about this, but the suggested approach has a problem when user (for whatever reason) installs MM twice. The .bak file would be overwritten then. Maybe we need a more complex solution here... |
|
|
If script.vbs.bak exists couldn't you just write script.vbs.bak1, script.vbs.bak2 etc.? |

I checked out how to resolve this in InnoSetup and didn't like any of the available options. Due to amount of work needed and not that much use for our users (they would have to rename their customized scripts after each install anyway), I'd defer this past 2.5. |
