Hi All,

I am using Install Shield 12 for creating installers for my application.
I am facing a weird problem.

I have an installer (say Prog1) which copies few files (Dll's) on installation. Now my installer also copies some of the same files in the same location.

The default property of Install Shield is that it checks the version of the Dll file and the greater version remains.

But my requirement is that whatever may be the case, the original files needed to be replaced with the files from my installer.

For this, i have tried using the option REINSTALLMODE=amus but it works only with Repair. It does not work with fresh installation.

That means, on repair the files are getting replaced (irrespective of the file versions). But on fresh installation, it is not happening.

is there any way (or property) that all the files in the fresh installation also should replace the original files irrespective of the file version.

Thanks and Regards
YKK Reddy
