Hello,
One of the software products that I am trying to create an MSI package for uses its own INI file in the Windows directory. The problem is that if a copy of this INI file already exists (from an older install of the same product) the MSI will not touch it. It will install the file if it doesn't already exist, but I also need it to replace this file if it does exist. Any ideas? I am using WinInstall LE and we are running Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I've also tried creating a separate MSI to remove this file before the install, but it didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated!
 
Thanks... Mike
