问题
I have a setup project that install a couple of projects and a couple of external files (one of which is a SQLite Database) - everything worked fine until i've recently modified the base database file included in the setup project.
Now, everytime i try to reinstall the project the new database file does not replace the previously installed one... Can i force it somehow in VS or make the setup realize this is a new version so the file gets replaced?
Best Regards,
Carlos Ouro

One month and a few days later... So it turns out that there is no way to do this to a file added directly in the Deployment project in VS2008 (used to be possible in VS2005...).
But after many many attempts i finally figured out a decent workaround.
I've included the file "Database.sqlite" directly in a windows forms project (Database) with the following properties: "Build Action -> Content file" and "Copy to Output Directory -> Copy always"
Then i added it to the deployment project via Project Output->Database->Content Files
Now apparently everything works fine and the file gets replaced every time i change it and rebuild the deployment project.
This one put up quite a fight ^^
