.msi packages

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.
