[wix-users] How can I conditionally overwrite DLLs during WIX installation of different packages?

[Walter Dexter]

So, if it’s at version 2, install version 4, but if it’s at 3, install 5,
just for example?

I completely agree it’s madness, but I’d think you could achieve it with
some combination of properties driven by a FileSearch and components
controlled by conditions. Haven’t tried it though.

It’s only going to get worse if you go down this path, you’re going to wind
up with a mess in another couple generations of releases.
