❔ What is easiest way to have the option to keep config file from last install with Wix Installer?
I am using the Wix Toolset technology for my installers and I am wondering what the easiest way to maintain the settings from a previous install that are saved in a .config file at the end of the install process. I want to stay away from writing a custom action if possible. This is a .NET Framework 4.7.2 application with Wix 3.

If the config isn't too complex, you might want to create Windows registries
Given that the uninstallation process would leave something behind, it is best to let the user know of that and give them the option to either delete everything or leave configs behind
