[wix-users] File not getting overwritten on upgrade

[Griesshammer, Christoph (GE Healthcare)]

I've read that MSI won't replace them, but I haven't seen that in effect. For example, in this same installation, I edited a .bat file, and THAT got a new version installed of the file.

Hi,

have these configs been changed by user / application? If so, MSI will not replace them, a workaround is to give them a pseudo version number as these files were binaries.

Regards
