I do not know why.
At the moment I've added


remove_directory
stop_on_failure = n
destination = $(all_users_shell_programs)\WinSCP
descend_dirs = n
remove_empty_dirs = y
rename_if_locked = n
remove = n

remove_file
destination = Documentation.url
remove_empty_dirs = y
rename_if_locked = n
end


remove_file
destination = WinSCP.lnk
remove_empty_dirs = y
rename_if_locked = n
end


remove_file
destination = "WinSCP Web Site.url"
remove_empty_dirs = y
rename_if_locked = n
end

end

before the installation runs (using tivoli for distribution) and the installation then runs OK, but else it usually fails when updating URLs

Why it fails to create the WinSCP Web Site.url file?

If you install the new version (remote,0 session) over an older one the 0-session (wich by design have no GUI) gets a Message box -
an the installation will stop/fail (see log).

Can you either not install these url's if they exist or make the install fail to a default action not give a message box?
(yes it's the same error as in previous installations)
