Getting MSI not to check for an INI file change

I have a file that is deployed by the MSI, we use a product called Radia to perform nightly checks on the users desktops that performs a verify of the MSI package that is deployed and repairs the MSI if it thinks it is necessary to do so. (standard MSI stuff).

I have an ini file that gets deployed that I do not want the MSI to fix as it contains font information, colour schemes etc. The application requires this file to be installed.

Is there a way for the MSI just to deploy the file and not check that the file has changed?

Thanks

Dan

If you don't want to overwrite the existing file, you can set the never overwrite bit for the component.

Thanks for the speedy response. I've just found that out myself.
