Uninstall: Don't uninstall files that have been modified
See discussion of this over the years:

We have a complex application, with numerous configuration files which are installed by the installation package. If the end-user modifies a configuration file, then we don't want it deleted at uninstall time, and don't want it overwritten by upgrades.
As far as I can tell, to implement this Inno Setup should do a hash of such files, and record it in the uninstall log. At uninstall time, check the file's hash, and don't delete the file if it's changed.
