Files not overwritten
Hi,
There are a bunch of files in my INSTALLPATH. When I run my MSI, some files are overwritten and some are left untouched. None of the binaries are overwritten and the following is captured in the log file:
Common.dll; Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; New file unversioned - existing file versioned
However, the new file is versioned and the version is also higher than the existing one.
All these binaries are a part of a single "Dynamic File Linking" component.
Any clue why this behavior.
Thanks,
Suchin

Can you change the Component code in the new build.
And also can you change the .net scan at build property as a "properties Only"
try this one this will help your application installtion.
Thanks

hi,
i am having a similar problem.
i am running a patch upgrade with the latest project having many new components (and associated files), but when the installation is complete, many of the files within the INSTALLDIR are not replaced.
i am trying to upgrade from 16.0.5.2 to 16.50.0.32
re-changing the component id for so many components does NOT seem to be a feasible soultion. any other advice, please ?
thanks in advance ...

In the last panel of the Release Wizard do you have the Patch Optimization (Optional) field point to a copy of the previous MSI? If you are using Dynamic Links, you should try this and see if it addresses your issues.
