Hello,

I am trying to create a custom .msi package for Kerberos for Windows 
3.2.  I was able to properly edit the .msi through orca, and it installs 
with my custom krb5.ini, krb.con, etc. great.  However, when it installs 
on a machine with a previous version of KfW, it will not overwrite the 
existing c:\windows\krb5.ini, krb.con and krbrealm.con files.  One 
option it to have the user remove the files manually, or choose to 
remove the configuration files when uninstalling 2.6.5, but that may not 
always happen properly.  My question is, does anyone know where to edit 
the .msi so the custom files will always overwrite the existing files?  
I'm not sure this is the best practice, but it gives me options.
