Replace only existing files
Hey
I am working on adding a component to my installer. The only thing is, I only want to replace a file if it exists. If not, I'd like to skip it.
In other words, I have a batch file now that does a replaceemnt using xcopy /u . I want to get rid of the batch and do it in my installer.
Has anyone tryed to do this? Any ideas?
Thanks!

You can use InstallScript API XCopyFile instead of batch.
