Hi Francisco,
Check if you have used the same Product Code and Upgrade Code in your new setup as in the old one from VFP8. If you have used a different Product Code in your new setup then Windows Installer is probably treating the new setup as a 'major upgrade', which removes the previous version of your product before installing the new one. This could be why the existing files are getting deleted.
HTH,
