WIX installing files, override?

You could try changing the upgrade order by modifing the sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. You could place it after InstallFinalize (no 4 option in the link article).

Try adding NeverOverwrite attribute to your components. It should do the trick.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
