Hi Rob,
As far as I can tell from the docs (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372079%28v=vs.85%29.aspx), the
format of the time might include a colon, such as 18:57:00, which isn't a
valid file name on Windows.
Cheers

Hi Harold,
Then we're back to doing a custom action, though, which means I can do anything
I want, including calling GetTempFilePath() directly. :)

Hi there,
I want to make a backup of a file during a major upgrade. The CopyFIle
element is pretty much what I need, but I'd like to generate the
destination file name on the fly to prevent name clashing.
Is there a way to do this with WiX that doesn't require me to use a custom
action?
Cheers,
I believe the SourceName Attribute is what you're looking for.

Hey Carter,
That's not quite what I'm after (unless I'm misreading the docs). I want
the *destination* file name to be uniquely generated, and as far as I can
tell from the docs, only a unique short name will be generated if one isn't
provided.

I don't know how you would go about Randomizing the Names, but as long
as the DestinationName contains a name different from the SourceName
the file name will be different after the copy completes.
