Hi all
I guess it is not the right group for this problem, but I can't find a
Newsgroup about Setup projects.
Visual studio 2005 SP1
My Setup project (.vdproj) is very simple. The project's output (msi
package) contain one EXE and three DLLs (created in C#) that should be
copied to an existing folder, where an older version already exist. The
installer should replace these files with the new ones.
The existing files are NOT write-protected.
If I run the Setup when the old files exist in the target folder, they are
NOT replaced. If the old files are removed, the new ones are installed
properly.
Any solution?
TIA

Could the files you're trying to replace be currently in use?

MSI uses file versioning to determine if it needs to copy a file. If the
existing file has a version that is equal to or greater than than the file
in the MSI, the file is NOT copied.
Hi Peter
The answer is No. The files are not in use.

Hi John.
I can't see my last reply to this mail, so I swnd it again.
Is there any way to force overwriting regardless of file version (some
switch or property in the installer) ?

I once did a lot of MSI work and although my memory of the subject has grown
fuzzy, I strongly recommend against this. There are a lot of carefully
crafted rules surrounding MSI versioning and it's not a good idea to play
around with them. It's complicated business with trap doors you don't want
to fall into. You should read up on the subject and version your files
accordingly. Let MSI take care of updating your files according to the usual
rules of file replacement.

Hi fellows,
I have two simple questions regarding the Framework's deploy and the Setup

elegant way, during the setup process, detect the absence of the Framework.
In this case, I'd like to run the Dotnetredist.exe file, first, and the

I found that it doesn't copy the dll files if they already exist in the

The copy doesn't happen even if the dlls in the destination folder are older
than the dll files in the Installer package.
Can someone help how i can force the copy of the dll files in the Setup

When I build a setup project, the dependency in the setup project is tied to
the version in which it was built.
Is there a way to build a setup project that can be used in both versions of
the Framework?
There is provision to build the app's .exe so that the .exe can be used in
either version of the framework, is there not a way to do this for the setup
project? I looked at the options, did not find any. Did I miss something?

Hi,
I m using VS .NET 2003 to create a website. Using the setup package I create
a setup as well.
But this setup has files with actual code in it & not pre-compiled DLLs.
Please let me know what needs to be done to ensure that DLLs are produced &
not code files.
Note: BOTH 'codebehind' & 'SRC' attribute has been used.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
