A Vista message when installing new software reads thus:

"A file being copied is not newer than the file currently on your system. It is recommended that you keep your existing file.
File name: C:\windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX
Description: Windows Common Controls Active X Control DLL
Your version: 6.1.97.86
Do you want to keep this file?
Yes No No to all"

But what does "this file" refer to? Since the topic is "a file being copied", it's most logical that "this file" means the file being copied.

But immediately before the question "Do you want to keep this file?" is the reference to the existing file, which suggests "this file" is referring to the exissting file.
