These are the file replacement rules: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368267(v=vs.85).as px
"older date" isn't part of a file replacement rule for non-versioned files, only a difference between modify and creation dates that indicate that the file has been replaced. Generally speaking nobody wants to replace higher versions witgh lower versions because higher versions contain fixes, new features etc. If it's your versioned file and it's broken and you want to revert to the older one, then fix it by rebuildin it with a higher version.

I guess that's the earliest possible <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371197(v=vs.85).a spx> . Now, for non versioned files with an older date in the new installer I get the following log instead *Allowing installation of component: {x} even though a modified unversioned keyfile exists and file versioning rules would disable the component* and the files are copied indeed. I wonder if this behavior could be enabled also for versioned files.
