Roaming folder deleted?

• Version: latest

• Target: NSIS

Why is the roaming folder deleted during install? (AppData/Roaming/App Name/) and how can I prevent this? This contains files that should never be deleted on install / upgrade.

We do not remove app data on auto uninstall (as part of installing new version) — upgrade, but we remove on uninstall.

Please specify do you mean that app data must be not removed on uninstall (Add or Remove Programms -> Uninstall)?

Correct. This should not happen without explicit user consent.

Well, for me data is removed on auto uninstall as part of installing new version. So I don't know why that is. It happens during the NSIS installation phase.

(But the ability to allow the user to choose to keep data on complete uninstall would be welcomed too). It would be nice if the app would receive a notification and could remove and keep what it wants to. But I digress, my main issue is on auto uninstall data gets removed that shouldn't.
