The file version belongs to the binary, not to WiX. The file versioning rules require that versions be incremented for file replacement.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do we assign a version to file component in wix? Hi, I have a problem with my patching mechanism in WIX. The problem is, There were some manual patches given to the customer. i.e to manually copy the config and executable files Now when they apply the patch made by WIX technology, this patch is not copying the manually replaced files. But applying patch is successful. How do I fix this issue? And I was reading a couple of blogs on MSI, saying file versioning might help. Currently the log file shows that the files are unversioned. How do I give a version to a file component? The DefaultVersion option did not work for me. Thanks & Regards, Srivardhan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
