replacing files belonging to another product

I need ot install a couple of files that replace files belonging ot anohter installed product. The files I replace contain customizations that my users will need. I know this is not the best thing to do but I have no choice ... it is a long story.
At install time I need to back up existing files and place my files in to the right subdirectory. At uninstall time, I want to replace my files with the files that were there originally (from the backed up files). I am using Windows basic project. Can anyone recomend a way to have this done?

You will have to add custom actions that do the backup on install, and undo on uninstall.
