Over writing system files

I have created my package, but when run it there is a system file that I need to replace if is newer. Well AI just gives me a message that says it cannot replace the file since it is a system file. How can I have AI check to see if the file it's trying to copy newer or older and then replace it if it is older???


thanks,
Leo

Hi,

At installation, an already existent file if replaced only if a new version of that file is installed. If the versions are the same then the existing file is replaced only if it is older than the file you want to install.

What system file you have tried to replace? Can you be more specific about the message you get when trying to install that file?

Regards,
Mihai.
