Need to find out if anyone has a script to search for a file copy it to a temp directory before install begins. Then copy it back over writting the current file after install completes. Any replies are greatly appreciated
What kind of project is this---InstallScript or MSI? With InstallScript, for example, you could find the file with FindAllFiles and copy it somewhere with XCopyFile, and later copy back using the same function... (That's assuming it's not an option just to avoid overwriting the file in the first place.)
Before going too far down that road, those types of custom actions have repercussions on repair, self-repair, upgrades, and so on. Is it an option just to avoid installing/overwriting that file if it already exists?
