    Xp Packaging Wizard

    Is there some way to stop the setup.exe that comes from the Office XP packaging wizard from complaining about 'older' files being installed over 'newer' (but older version) files?
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    nope there isnt. an exe is a compiled program. its not a good idea to overwrite new files with old files. its a very bad idea.

    No there is no way you can stop that. Yes, it is a very bad idea, considering the file being replaced, could be infected. Alot of virus do that, only really works if the user running the setup has no clue that there changing. I just wish there was a way to stop the message windows displays when its trying to put in a new file thats already there and is being used, so the user would not have the trouble on having to click on all the "ignores"
