I have a versioned file whose version number has not changed even though the DLL itself has newer code. While I realize that is not the best practice, I am past that point now and I need to get this newer file updated during a patch. I've tried checking "Always Overwrite" with no luck. I've tried overriding the version with no luck. I've tried using different combinations of REINSTALLMODE with no luck. Is there some workaround that I'm not aware of that will sledgehammer this file in for me?
I recently did some experimenting with patching. One of the biggies that I had to have was an uncompressed version of the current installer. Also, I had to include the windows installer engine in the uncompressed version of the installer. My patch was failing though on the latter.
This is all of course depending on the type of install project that you have though. I was using InstallScript MSI though.
