Windows Installer changes timestamps when it installs files. It makes
create and modify dates identical because this forms the basis of the
update rules for data files. If the create and modify dates are
different then the user has altered the file and it won't be updated.

Subject: [WiX-users] timestamp difference between source files and
installedfiles
I am getting some discrepancy between the time stamp of the source files
and the actual installed files.
So far, it seems to be between 1-2 seconds. For example, if in my wix I
have a file source of 1:04:00pm, then after I run the MSI, the installed
file becomes 1:04:02pm.
This difference applies to all the installed files. I also tried just a
very simple example and could reproduce the time difference on various
machines.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Is there any way
to specify the timestamp of the installed file explicitly?
Thanks,
Hongping
