Hi, all. My "install environment" is our various retail systems scattered around the country. Because of the nature of retail systems, we have a LOT of drive corruption, so one of the unofficial rules is to have an installer always install files, even if they're already there and modified, even if the installer is showing as already installed.
We usually create MSI files with the WISE toolset, and there it's a matter of a few drop downs and check boxes to do some of it, then they put the package's upgrade code in the upgrade table and it somehow accomplishes it. I went "rebel" and am trying to use WiX, but I sure can't figure out how to accomplish that. To summarize, goals are: 1. If you run the MSI, install the files, whether or not it's already installed. 2. If the file is newer, overwrite it with the one out of the MSI. I've found a bunch of different things via Google but none of them seem to be getting me there. Any advice?
