❔ ✅ WiX: Ignore version numbers when overwriting files

I'm trying to have my WiX generated msi overwrite any and all files contained in the package, regardless of the file version itself. I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1917877/install-a-file-regardless-of-version-number-with-wix, but it doesn't feel right.

It’s been a minute, but I think you can set the REINSTALLMODE to “amus” and it will ignore the file version

I ended up just setting the file version because nothing else worked.
