"Always ovrwrite" on dynamic file linking
Installscript MSI Project. I was wondering why in "Setup Design / Component / File" i cannot set the "Always Overwrite" attribute on files with "Dynamic linking".

It is not possible to set any file properties for a dynamically linked file, as described in the following help topic: Dynamic File Linking
To work around this limitation, consider adding the file as a standard static file. When it's a static file, you can set its properties. Then, for the dynamic file link settings, add the name of this file to the Exclude files with the following extensions box.

Thank you for the answer.
Anyway i have noticed that in "Dynamic file linking" is present the option "Self-Register all files", so i expected that was not a big problem to add an "Always overwrite all files" option. Actually i can deal without it, but may be a nice feature in my opinion.
Thank you.
