If the file is a PE file (exe, dll, etc.) and it has a version record (you can see file version information from the Properties sheet when you right-click the file) you make sure the file's name and component's guid are the same between the two MSIs. Windows Installer takes care of the rest.

Hi all, I have a msi which installs a file A (version 1.0). Now the msi is updated with file A upgrading to version 2.0. I hope when the new msi is installed on a machine which has installed old msi, the new version file can overwrite the old version file. How can I implement it?
