Oddly enough the file was the original file. I can't explain why. I did
end up finding I could set the following property and this overwrites
all of the files.
<Property Id='REINSTALLMODE' Value='amus'/>

This is confusing - the log says Overwrite, hash doesn't match source
file, and all that means that it DID replace the file on disk. If it
wasn't going to replace it you'd see something like " Won't Overwrite;
Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash
matches source file"

Looking into this I found the following from the Windows Installer Log.
MSI (s) (BC:A8) [16:12:38:802]: Executing op:
FileCopy(SourceName=iumwmdfq.con|docinfo.exe.config,SourceCabKey=config,
DestName=docinfo.exe.config,Attributes=512,FileSize=11567,PerTick=32768,
,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,,,InstallMode=58982400,HashOptions=0,HashP
art1=-1712850835,HashPart2=1231145881,HashPart3=-146243111,HashPart4=472
064521,,)
MSI (s) (BC:A8) [16:12:38:802]: File: C:\docinfo\docinfo.exe.config;
Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and
unmodified - hash doesn't match source file
How do I version files or tell WiX that I would like this file installed
anyways?

I am moving my project from the install being just unzipping it to
being
installed through a WiX created installer package (via Visual Studio
Plug
In).
I ran into an issue where WiX will not overwrite files in the folder
with
the newer files from the installer. Keep in mind this is not an
upgrade
since there was no installer for the last version of my program.
How can I get my WiX package to overwrite existing files if they exist
in
the folder prior to the installation?
Thanks,
Darrell
