Avoid modifying system32.  Definately don't 'upgrade' anything found there - 
you have no idea what other applications you're breaking whilst attempting to 
do that.

SFP will undo your action anyway for most files.

Normally you'd use Tallow to work out what the selfreg did and code it into 
the wix file.

OTOH in this case just use the proper comdlg32 msm which will do everything 
properly and not break stuff (or at least if it does you can legitimately 
blame microsoft..).

There's almost never a case to modify the system folder.  Device drivers is 
about the only one I can think of.
