I guess what Phil is asking you to do is to make use of MoveFiles action to
accomplish what you want to do. 

The MoveFiles action locates existing files on the user's computer and moves
or copies those files to a new location. The MoveFiles action queries the
MoveFile table and moves files specified there if the component linked to
the entries is specified to be install locally or is being run from source.

So to accomplish this:
-Make use of MoveFiles action to copy the existing file to your new
installation directory
-Schedule RemoveExistingProducts  after InstallFiles but somewhere before 
InstallFinalize

Hope this helps.

Kiran Hegde
