- Why should an installer be updating WFP files? Isn't that the point of having windows file protection?
Before the release of Windows Installer 3.1, during a silent installation process, a package could not install a later version of a file that was protected by the Windows File Protection (WFP) feature. However, the installation process would continue and would report as successful.
With the release of Windows Installer 3.1, this behavior has changed. In version 3.1, the silent installation process does not succeed and then rolls back the installation if the silent installation process cannot install the WFP-protected file. To resolve this problem, obtain the KB160810 update package.
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 for Itanium-bas, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition (Itanium) , Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition (Itanium) 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition with Windows Installer 3.1
