Issue that is addressed in Windows Installer 3.1 (v2) • Windows Installer no longer fails silently when the installer tries to update a file that is protected by the Windows File Protection feature.

This was released in Sep. 2001. I don't know why it's just now getting posted here, but it is just the ANSI (Windows 9X) version. The Unicode (Windows NT/2000) version is at: http://www.microsoft.com...ase.asp?ReleaseID=32832
