MDT 2008 Install issue and Resolution

 I had an issue where certain files that had been replaced from the original MDT had not been updated when i upgraded to MDT 2008.

Here is what I found. The files that had been changed since the previous version where NOT replaced. I renamed each file that I had record of changing to filename.ext.Hack

Then did a repair and found that each file was reinstalled with a date of 3-10-08

Here is the list of what I had hacked

So if you added any of these things you will need to either delete or rename them and do a repair to get the latest files.

 
Hope this helps someone else out.
