(wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] File not getting overwritten Hi All, We have an installer that basically is trying to overwrite some files that is on the host system. The files that are being overwritten were not installed by the installer. When I run my installer, all these files get overwritten. On one particular machine, these files don't seem to be overwritten no matter what. Here is a log entry for one of the files. File: C:\Program Files\xxx \lib\xxx.jar; Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned but modified All the other machines where I have run the installer this is the log, where it gets overwritten: File: C:\Program Files \xx \lib\xxx.jar; Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash doesn't match source file As per the MSI policy for overwriting files if they don't have versions is to check for the modified dates. The file on system has a 2014 date and the file from the installer has a 2015 date. The hashes don't match as the file content has changed. So, why is the file not being replaced? --Pavan This email and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and may be confidential and/or privileged.
