Unable to Overwrite files by updating product version

[sandeep_anantha]

Hi Guyz,
I am using Installscript MSI Project. Our product current version is 2.0. I need to create an upgrade which relaces certain image file on existing installation. I am just product version from 2.0 to 2.1. I set these files to be always overwritten by right clikcing the files.

But, I dont see these files overwritten after running the installer.
I searched in this forum for hours and hours but could not find any help that works. I modified reinstall mode property even that diint help.

My Doubts:
1. Do I need to created minor/major upgrade item in upgrades view?
2. Do the file ever get overwritten/ copied with the the process that i am following?. Caz installer prompts that product is being upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1 and finishes quickly and doesnt seem to trying to replace files.

Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Girish,
Thanks for the reply. But that post is basically about major upgrade. Can we replace images using minor upgrade caz I can see exe file is getting overwritten properly but not dll or images. Do we need to handle images separtly??

Try this : Set the files that you want overridden as 'key file' in your Component and set them to 'always override' option.

Hi

Check the REINSTALLMODE if it is vomus then change it to amus. I think it will work:)
