We have a set of dlls that required an downgrade to the previous version. So in the installer project, we have switch those file to run the 'Always overwrite existing file' operation to ensure the downgrade can happen when re-deploy with a patch.
However, this only works for a sub-set of the dlls, majority of them we are trying to downgrade (overwrite). Tried make the installer to dump verbose log as well as checking event view, both were not giving any hints on the reason they were not overwritten.

Re: Problem with 'Always overwrite existing file'
Hello,
Are all your DLLs part of a single folder? If not, please make sure that the DLLs that are not getting overwritten are not part of a folder which has its "Overwrite Behavior" set to "Do not overwrite existing" files.
If that is not the case, please forward me a copy of the .AIP file by e-mail at support at advancedinstaller dot com with some details about the DLLs (e.g. which should get overwritten but is not, which should get overwritten and actually is).
Best regards,
Catalin
