In general, all you do is create an updated version of the MSI for the upgrade but have the file the same version as in the previous one. There's no need for anything special - just put the same version file in both MSIs. If it's a data file, the update rules are a bit different but if it's data that's was updated by the app then the upgrade won't replace it. This all assumes you have RemoveExistingProducts at the "end" of the upgrade so that file replacement rules apply. --------------- Phil Wilson
