[wix-users] MoveFiles

[Hoover, Jacob]

CopyFiles + when you schedule RemoveExistingProducts would solve this without a CA. You need to define if this is a Major Upgrade, and if the install location is the same.

Ok. It's because I need to backup files from a previous installation during an upgrade and then restore them in the new installation. I'm using a custom action in C# at the moment, but this causes an ICE63 warning that I can't get rid of and I thought MoveFiles could have helped me.

Yes... You use CopyFiles.  MoveFiles is for scheduling the sequence, as it's only valid parent is the InstallExecuteSequence and for most use cases you should never have to touch it.

How should I proceed to use the MoveFiles element? There seems to be little documentation on this topic.
