msiexec - Custom Timestamp for files when using Wise for windows installer -


if making msi package 10 files, can give files specific timestamp say, 10th august 2016, while creating msi package using wise windows installer version 5.0 or need other tool?

windows installer uses timestamps on data files during updates decide if data file needs updated:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370531(v=vs.85).aspx

and creation , modify dates set @ install time. modifying dates before install doesn't make difference because windows installer sets creation , modify dates same detect change after they've been installed. changing them after install potentially break update detection mechanism. if binaries versions used identify particular build.

see also:

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2013/05/23/updating-the-last-modified-time-to-prevent-windows-installer-from-updating-an-unversioned-file/

where deliberately changes dates after install prevent overwrite. in other words, said, if change dates after install altering patch/upgrade overwrite rules.
