Hi All, I'm trying to create an installer that drops down an exe + a few dlls. One of these dlls is infrequently changed and is injected into explorer (it does icon overlays & explorer loads it when it launches).
I'm using RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize but I think the installer is still trying to install the dll. I suspect this because msiexec will want to relaunch explorer when install is done even tho I have not changed the dll's version # (or all at for that matter). Msiexec is relaunching explorer via restart manager. It detects that explorer has a handle to the dll and closes the explorer app. My guess is that it is doing this because it wants to drop down the dll again. Thus my suspicion that it is still installing that dll. I can 'fix' this problem by marking the dll's component as NeverOverwrite. That isn't a real fix tho. I've posted this question on stackoverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13408436/how-can-i-make-wix-install-only-modified-files> & Mike Baz pointed me to this forum. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
