[WiX-users] Migrating files during major upgrade

2007-06-20 Thread Kevin Dente
We've got a WiX 2.0 based install, and have an upgrade scenario that I'm not sure how to accomplish. For the new version of the product, the default (configurable) install directory has changed. When upgrading existing systems, we need to copy some XML configuration info from the original install
