We are using Wix to install our (Java) application. Updating works fine,
even launched application (and service) are handled gracefully.

For providing users who report bugs a very quick bug-fix build we offer a
plain zip file containing just the replaced few binary (.jar) files which
they can replace themself in the installed application (we don't want to
create a separate installer for several reasons). Unfortunately, if such
binaries are replaced, the official next update Wix-based release (full
bundle which will not require a previous installation) will NOT replace them
with the new files. It looks like Wix automatically detects that the files
were changed (by content or file time?) and then rejects to remove them when
updating or uninstalling.

What is the easiest way to tell Wix to uninstall/update the replaced files, too?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
