i am having great difficulty making an installer to just overwrite notepad.exe in the windows directory with a better version of notepad and then add two registry keys

ive tried inno setup but it doesnt seem to like overwriting the already installed one

would someone be able to help me out with this.

Hey ScubaS

I use notepad2.exe, I change the name to notepad.exe, then use makecab on it,

notepad.ex_, then copy to i386 file, overwrite when asked to, add reg tweak with

the rest of my tweaks.......

cool thanks alot

I do the same thing. For the registry entries, why don't you just import it using cmdlines.txt

The problem that you are experiencing might be because of the Windows File Protection. It will not allow you to replace system files.
