Hello.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible (and how) to replace one file in an already created .msi package with some tool without InstallShield or Wise - let's say using some command line tool:
I have a package called InstallMe.msi and inside is a file file1.exe. I have a new version of this file (file1.exe) and I want to replace the old file with this new version - just binary replacement. If I open InstallMe.msi with Orca or IS I cannot do a replacement sad.gif .

Thanks in advance
Andreo

Andreo, Try and remember to post answers which you have received on other forums here so that others can benefit. Nick details the steps here. The solution noted includes applying a patch but you would simply omit that stage.
