Trying to replace a old.txt file

OK, this is off the top of my head but IIRC, files which don't have version information in them, then the 'replace' decision is based on the file's *creation* date stamp. The 'Creation' date is different to 'Modified' date. So you need to make sure that the new file is dated later than the old one. This is easy enough to do, by either using a 'touch' utility or creating an empty text file, pasting the contents of the replacing file into it then saving the file using the replacing file's name. Keep copies of source and target, in case things go wrong.

The "File Versioning Rules" still apply for MSPs for full files not delta.
Add the file to the RemoveFile table to make sure the file will get removed prior to installation.
