Add/Replace Options
Add/Replace Properties define the replacement procedure of the file that already exists on the end-user's machine (this group do not affect "Updated" files , i.e. when the update procedure is performed using a difference between two files).
If a file id defined as added or replaced in the update module, then it can be necessary to prevent replacement of newer files. To determine if existing file is newer the update program tries to compare last modified date and time, or version information (for PE-files). Thus if according to comparing results the file to be replaced is considered as older then it is replaced without any confirmations (similarly for "Added" files). Otherwise property "If older" is used to define the action to be made in such situation.
