This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>We are trying to figure out why running a new installation, different version, etc, would wipe out files in one of our destination data directories. The old version and the new one both write to this directory. By only installing the new version it is deleting files in that directory. All it should be doing is installing some other things, and adding some files to the data directory, not deleting anything. We are not uninstalling the old version as that definately wipes out the files. Any ideas?

The issue was that the InstallDir in the General Information could not be the same as the DatabaseDir. Once we set the InstallDir to the root of the DatabaseDir, and DatabaseDir to the actual data folder, all was good. Still not sure why, but it works.
