If you do use an empty file and want the file to be "looked after" by
Windows installer for patching, repair, etc - you can update the
filesize information post-build. Something like the following should
work (this is a somewhat simplified version of an actual script we
use)
Const MSI_SOURCE = "application.msi"
Const FILE_REPLACE = "config.xml"
Dim filesys, installer, database, view, size
Set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set database = installer.OpenDatabase (MSI_SOURCE, 1)
Set objFile = filesys.GetFile(FILE_REPLACE)
size = objFile.Size
Set view = database.OpenView ("UPDATE File SET FileSize = " & size & "
WHERE File = '" & LCase(FILE_REPLACE) & "'")
view.Execute
