Permanent Property
Specifies whether a file, assembly, or project output group should be removed from a target computer when the application is uninstalled. By default, all items are removed during uninstall.
Settings
The settings for the Permanent property are:
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
False |
The selected item is removed when the application is uninstalled. |
True |
The selected item is not removed when the application is uninstalled. It remains on the target computer until it is manually deleted. |
Remarks
The expected behavior is that uninstalling an application should remove everything that was installed by the application. Make sure that you have a good reason before setting the Permanent property to True.
