How can I have a Setup project not copy files from the CD if they already exist?

Visual Basic 2005 Professional Edition:

I am using aSetup project to deploy my application. It alsoinstalls a few SQL database tables. But, if the user is installing an update, the files are replacing his files and he is losing his data. Ispecified 'copy if newer'in the .mdf file properties.

How can I have it not copy the files from the CD if they already exist?
