Subject: [WiX-users] Checking for executable version number
Hi all, I'm pretty new to Wix and microsoft installer in general. I have read
everything I can get my hands on, but I still don't understand if I'll be able
to retrieve the version of an existing dll or other executable and decide if I
need to replace it. I understand that I can write my own custom action, but
this seems to be pretty basic and hope that someone has already done it.
Thank you so much!
