I have a basic msi installer and it has for example 2 features:
All components are installed in one directory
1. Feature1
-component1
*File1
-component2
*File2
2. Feature1update.
-component3
*File1
Feature1 and Feature1update has the same file in one of their components
on first time install feature1 is only installed.
when i run maintenance dialog, i have Update and Delete radio button,
Update Radio button when selected checks if the version in the registry that is set if the installer is latest or not if not it will install Feature1update and overwrite the file by Feature1 in the directory.
Then i build a new installer without changing the product code and package code, the only change is that the files are new, ive just overwrite the files but still having the samefilename, so the files are newer version.
then i run the new build MSI it goes to maintenance dialog, then select update.
My question is, how will i install Feature1update to overwrite the file in Feature1?
is it like reinstalling a feature? Ive tried REINSTALLMODE = amus but still not working, it doesnt overwrite files.
I need help on this pls...i know this is a very different scenario for basic msi
Thank you in advance
