I'm creating a major upgrade for a program using WiX. The last version of the
program had a data file that is always found in C:\. I am allowing the user to
either keep the file in the same location or select a different location.
I am using a CopyFile element to move the file, which looks like this:
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="CMP_Data"
Guid="{C35F8888-D868-4B18-991E-29E217EFE445}" KeyPath="yes"> <CopyFile
Id="CopyData" DestinationDirectory="DATALOCATION" DestinationName="Remindex
Local Data" SourceProperty="ORIGINALDATA" SourceName="Remindex Local Data"
Delete="yes"/> </Component></DirectoryRef>
DATALOCATION is a property which contains the path the user chooses in a
PathEdit dialog. ORIGINALDATA is the original location of the files to be
moved. They both also serve as ID's for Directories in my directory structure.
The files should be moved from ORIGINALDATA to DATALOCATION. However, nothing
is happening. I tried putting ORIGINALDATA in both the SourceDirectory and
SourceProperty attributes.
There are no errors showing up in the log file. I don't know if this helps, but
here are the only three instances where CMP_Data shows up in the log:
Component: CMP_Data; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local
_CMP_Data65; Installed: Null; Request: Local; Action: Local
_CMP_Data66; Installed: Null; Request: Local; Action: Local
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
