Tried it--doesn't work in some strange way: if I install the product in 'Program Files' directory (used by default), the installer doesn't overwrite text files marked as companions of some .exe; however, on installing into some other directory (say, 'D:/foo') all text files are overwritten including those which are not marked as companions. I don't understand the installer's logic. > 2) play games with the timestamp per other discussions on this list. > > I currently use the CompanionFile technique in production, but I am > intrigued by manipulating the timestamps and I have a task for myself > to implement a table-driven "touch" custom action to put that into > practice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
