Setup Wizard wants to update other files that are in use?

[Alan Cohen]

Running the setup wizard for 2.10, I get a pop up that files are in use that need to be updated. Is this expected behavior? It's not intuitive as to why, say, Microsoft Teams needs to be updated, but lots of things are not intuitive to me!

Thanks in advance.

No it is not intuitive. :-(

I believe it's because there is installation of microsoft DLL files through a "merge module".

Here:
https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/main/win_installer/cppcheck.wxs#L172

The CrtMergeModule is specified here:
https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/main/win_installer/config.wxi#LL13C14-L13C28

It is a Merge module provided by Microsoft.

I am not an expert on WIX .. should we use merge modules or some alternative approach? I created this ticket: https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/11723

Ah. Thanks for this!
