Hello Richard and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,
I have tried to test this using a .txt file and everything worked as expected - on Advanced Installer 16.2. Here is how I proceeded:
1. created a project which contained a .txt file containing "123" in it.
2. build and install
3. created a new .txt file, with the same name, containing "1234" in it and replaced the one from the installation folder.
4. updated the .txt file from my setup to contain "123456", increased the version and installed it over the previous version.
5. after installation, I have checked the installation folder and the .txt file was overwritten.
Could you please check the following:
1. double click on your file (in the "Files and Folders" page) --> "Operations" tab --> make sure either "Overwrite only if the existing file is older" or "Always overwrite existing files" options is ticked.
2. make sure the MDE files have the same name. If the users have replaced + renaming the file, then yes, it is normal that it does not get overwritten.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Catalin
