Hi, When try to patch non-versioned files, the files does not get replaced when 
the file on the disk was changed by the user, I know this is by design, but I 
need to  patch some configuration files that the user was allowed to update, 
lets say it's a web.config file, when some additional content was added to the 
web.config file from the build,  I need to remove the file the user updated and 
replace it with the file in the delta, is there any way that I can force the 
files to get reinstalled.

I did add a removefile element to the files like so:


  <Component Id="comp_12D9BA535F5443E0B23AF72ED10A3385" 
Guid="BC0D1156-F478-4051-BFAF-8FF5AD1EFC1B">

          <File Id="file_EF33C85A5F3F430DAA97E17D618E4CD2" KeyPath="yes" 
Source="$(var.BinariesBuildOutputPath)\web.config " />

                    <RemoveFile 
Id="remove_comp_12D9BA535F5443E0B23AF72ED10A3385" Name=" web.config " 
On="install" />

           </Component>

But after the patch was applied the the web site had significant less files 
than what is was supposed to have.

Please can anyone make any suggestions

Thanks in advanced.
