Hi,
Those files will be updated in several cases:
1. If they are of newer version from installed (default option)
2. If component GUID is changed - either change it manually every time you build a release or you can set such option in release properties. It called "Generate Package Code"
3. If you set in file's properties checkbox to "always owerwrite" (I'm not sure if you can set it for dynamic files, but you can try)

Thanks for ur reply anvanster, i tried all the scenarios( including separate component for DLL and EXE files with Always Overwrite option is enabled), This is an installshield MSI project issue.
In my project applications have (ini, txt, EXE, DLL and image files), only DLL and EXE files are not replaced.

Have you tried creating major update?
