If you have the old MSI, there are a couple of options (but I am no expert).

If the old mis supports doing a /a layout then you can extract the files of
the old msi to two folder tress, original and changed, change the files in
the 'changed' folder tree, and use torch to create a transform.

Or you can use orca in the old msi to find out which component the files is
associated.  Then create a new msi with only all of the files (resources) of
that component, using the same component GUID, and run that msi to update
the file.  But the component must be identical to the component in the
original package with regard to the guid, target path, and all resources
included in that component.

I am just learning and experimenting with a similar situation, so others can
provide more expert advice.
