Got it! Thank you.

So this is where I'll need a dll or script, correct?

<Property Id="FILEEXISTS" Secure="yes">
      <DirectorySearch Id="CheckFileDir"
                    Path="[SOMEPATH] "
                    Depth="0">
        <FileSearch Id="CheckFile"
                Name="[SOMEFILE]" />
      </DirectorySearch>
    </Property>

Now you can run a custom action based on this property.

Yes, but I can't find where I can execute some code.  If the file does not
exist I want to download and rename a file.

Did you look into LaunchConditions, FileSearch?

I've searched the online documentation and I have the WiX 3.6 Developer's
Guide, but I can't find the answer to this question.



I want to check for the existence of a file, and if it exists perform one
operation, and if it's not do something else. Is this possible?
