I am new to installshield developer 8 and have been able to create basic projects, however I am having problems updating an existing file test1.exe with a newer test1.exe when setup runs. Also how do I run a dos .bat file from within setup.exe

Have have tried this with installshield developer 8 as both installscript.msi and windows installer I also tried express 4 with no luck. If i delete the older version of the test1.exe file manually before running setup the file copies just fine.

Make sure the new file has a higher version number than the existing file.
