[WiX-users] Property entries (Product Name, Product Version, etc) on an installers details tab?

Hi, I notice on some of the installers I have used that the installer files detail tab has Product Name, Product Version, Copyright and other useful entries - the normal properties available for any exe. For example, the windows .Net 3.0 installer has these properties defined

[WiX-users] Skipping the installation of a file if the existing file is newer

Is there anyway to skip the installation of a file if the file already exists and is newer? I'm thinking, for example, of the case where a DLL in System32 already exists. In a similar vein, can you skip the installation of a file if the file already exists - regardless of which is newer?

Thanks for the quick reply. I believe that the XmlFile is working except that it is using a value that is set BEFORE the UI section updates the property. XmlFile changes the value to 'Default WiX value' which is what the property 'DataValueProperty' is initial set to. But I want the XmlFile
