There isn't a feature like that. It would be impossible to manage for installs 
where every file gets replaced by one with a higher version. Since it's 
understood that new versions replace older versions and that (where it matters) 
the replacement offers the same functionality as the prior version a warning 
has little point.

Is that possible with the Windows Installer?  I'm not sure I've heard of a 
feature like that.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to provide warnings when overwrite an existing file

Hi,

I want to create a setup msi such that it will give warnings to the user if the 
file being copied is not newer than the existing one on the directory.

Can this be done in Wix?

Thanks,

Michael
