Looking into this I found the following from the Windows Installer Log. MSI (s) (BC:A8) [16:12:38:802]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=iumwmdfq.con|docinfo.exe.config,SourceCabKey=config,DestName=docinfo.exe.config,Attributes=512,FileSize=11567,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,,,InstallMode=58982400,HashOptions=0,HashPart1=-1712850835,HashPart2=1231145881,HashPart3=-146243111,HashPart4=472064521,,) MSI (s) (BC:A8) [16:12:38:802]: File: C:\docinfo\docinfo.exe.config; Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash doesn't match source file
