Summary: Overwrite ifnewer seems to be using wrong file attribute

Initial Comment:
Using NSIS 2.16 on Windows XP I noticed that 
Overwrite ifnewer seem to check file creation time as 
opposed to file modification time. That may lead to 
subtle and unexpected errors.

The already installed file was both created and modified 
on April 27, 2006. The file packaged into installer was 
created April 17, 2006 and modified on April 28, 2006. I 
have Overwrite ifnewer but while testing noticed that new 
file was not installed. Unfortunately I have since rebuild 
and reinstalled my application, so I don't have original 
files to reproduce the problem.

NSIS 2.16, as do earlier versions, use the last modification
time. Can you add a bit more details about your problem?
