You could author the REINSTALLMODE Property into your MSI. That might force it
to always replace all files. That is a very dangerous thing to do in general,
because I believe you can downgrade files. You have to be very certain you are
installing only your files.

Subject: [WiX-users] Automatic repair during install
I have a server installation - no UI , installs a service on server. How can I
have the MSI package repair the installation during install.
Here is a scenario:
Install package
Modify one of the files that was installed (using notpad for example)
Rerun the installation
I would like the installation replace the changed file with the original. The
only way that I was able to do this is by specifying REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALL
REINSTALLMODE=amus
Default REINSTALLMODE of omus did not replace the file as expected. I would
like to be able to run identical command line every time to either install the
package, or to correct a problem with a prior install.
