Hello All,

Product: Wise Installation Studio v7.3.0.250
Request: To flag a file to ALWAYS install, basically to override whatever file is found in its place.

In my situation the file have may been created by a user and it mayt be dated later than the fiel I wish to install.
The installer however skips the file and does not override it.
How do I set the installation to aloways override the file no matter what the circumstance ??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

You're not specifying if you

You're not specifying if you manage the installation through MSI or EXE.

For MSI; you could just remove the file prior to installing it by adding an entry into the RemoveFile table.
The RemoveFiles action is by default sequenced before the the InstallFiles action making this possible, just double-check the sequence for these actions in the InstallExecuteSequence table.
