When reinstalling the latest version of a particular installation package over an earlier version, some files are not being updated (overwritten) by the installer, despite all evidence and logic to the contrary. This is taken from the log:
MSI (s) (24:58) [14:19:27:090]: File: C:\Program Files\...\Report Definitions\Course Demographics Report.rdl; Overwrite; Won't patch; REINSTALLMODE specifies all files to be overwritten MSI (s) (24:58) [14:19:27:090]: Source for file 'fil1A0D420C18871D13362FD2189A753C67' is uncompressed, at 'C:\Windows\Installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\E0EBAC857F0FC4949A9EF21E1014B912\10.1.15\'. InstallFiles: File: Course Demographics Report.rdl, Directory: C:\Program Files\...\Report Definitions\, Size: 50907 My reading of the log is that the file in question will be overwritten from the installation package, but it isn't. Oddly, the file size referenced above (50907) is exactly the file size of the version in the installation. But when the installation has completed, the file on disk still has the old size (and modified date). Why is this file (and other files) not actually overwritten and how do I correct the problem?
