I'm not aware that Wix supports any more than MSI does, namely <CopyFile>, <CreateFolder> and <RemoveFile>, <RemoveFolder>. If you put these in components in your feature, they will run when your feature is installed or removed. If your directory structure has subdirectories and the structure is not known at build-time, these probably won't help you but you can write a CA (if you can't find one) to write temporary rows to the associated tables at install time.
You might also want to evaluate whether the copy part is something best done in the application. -----Original Message----- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 25 March 2011 05:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] copying one folder including sub folders to another Hi: Is there a custom action in Wix to copy one folder to another, and remove the folder on uninstallation. I need to do this only if a feature is selected. I remember there was something in the community extensions, but carn't remember whether this allowed feature selection to be taken in to account. Any help appreciated.
