One possibility: Depending on how you configured RemoveExistingProducts,
the installer might not be installing the component associated with the

easier if you don't have your install touch user data. Have the setup install

No code is necessary. CustomAction/@Property,@Value creates a type 51 CA
which does exactly what you need.

You're probably better off either:
A) Copy the file from the template in a custom action.
OR
B) Have the application copy the file from the template to the user's
application data folder if it doesn't already exist.

You'll need to use Properties. If you need to clean up an arbitrary number of
folders then you'll need a CustomAction to add temporary rows to the RemoveFile
table and let the Windows Installer clean up from there.

I have this file that I want to rename that acts like a template and I have

I am trying to rename a file that is coming with my installer. The new name
of the file should be based on a value set by the user in one of the
dialogs. So far I've tried different combinations of File and CopyFile but
with no luck.
Is there a way to do this using WiX?
