Hi,

My problem is that I need more flexibility than the by version/date checking in overwrite properties of my file groups. Without going into too much detail, I have previously shipped a file with a rogue version number (unfortunately this number is high!). So I need a check for that file that says:
Update on version AND Update if version = x.x.x.x

Where and how can I include this additional logic?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you'll probably have to copy the files via InstallScript and not rely on standard file groups.

Or at least use script to detect this problem file and delete it before your regular file copy starts.

Thanks,

Yeah I'd though along the lines of detecting and deleting the suspect file. Where would be the best place to do this, as I don't want to delete the file then the user cancels the install and is left with a broken installation. I certaintly don't want to have to write any form of rollback either.
