Windows Installer changing file last modified dates -


so created windows installer deploy variety of dlls, batch files, , config files. problem reason after files installed on system last modified dates changed time installer deployed them.

this problem because system files installed validated , important modified dates accurate possible. has seen behavior before windows instalers? standard behavior of windows installers, or did wrong?

thanks in advance.

this happens because package installs copies of files, doesn't install actual files. when copy created, it's last modified date same creation date (when copied).

an installed application shouldn't rely on modified date of it's files. why of them use configuration files or registry entries. example save these dates in file when creating package.
