Hi,

This behavior is usually caused by a known Windows Installer bug related to file versioning. A solution is to use the "Ensure that this file overwrites any installed target file" option in the Version tab of the "Edit File" page. Another solution is to use the "Install new version first and then uninstall old version" option in the Upgrades page.
