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.
