Basically you are right (though in this case all what you pointed out
does not apply). But it makes me think that this is a serious problem
for any installer. I mean if someone wants to sabotage an install, all
it has to do is to place bogus exe files, with the same name as the

I am moving my project from the install being just unzipping it to being
installed through a WiX created installer package (via Visual Studio Plug
In).
I ran into an issue where WiX will not overwrite files in the folder with
the newer files from the installer. Keep in mind this is not an upg
