I've an upgrade scenario where I'm copying one file from the version 1 to
version 2.
Product gets installed in the PROGRAMFILES\Product\VersionNo folder so both of
the version will have different directories and I'm copying the config file
from product\V1 to Product\V2
for that I created a wxs file like this.
<Property Id="EXISTINGINSTALLPATH">
<!-- search for the existing component -->
<ComponentSearch Id=".." Guid=".."Type="file"/>
</Property>
<Component Id="CopyConfig" Guid="3392C1A2-2F93-4ee1-9DA7-2F610B646FDB"
Location="local" DiskId="1">
<Condition>
MAJOR_UPGRADE
</Condition>
<CopyFile Id="ConfigFileCopy" SourceName="FileName.Config"
SourceProperty="OLD_CONFIG_INSTALLPATH"
DestinationProperty="TARGETDIR"/>
</Component>
<Component Id="Config" Guid="84649C50-015B-42AE-8944-C2490F8521BC"
Location="local" DiskId="1">
<Condition>
NOT MAJOR_UPGRADE
</Condition>
<File Id="ConfigFile"
Name="fn.cfg"
LongName="FileName.Config"
KeyPath="yes"
src="$(var.InstallBinDir)\FileName.Config">
</File>
</Component>
<
<Feature Id="SomeId"
Title="Complete"
Description="Description"
Level="1"
InstallDefault="local"
TypicalDefault="install"
AllowAdvertise="no">
<ComponentRef Id="CopyConfig" />
<ComponentRef Id="Config" />
</Feature>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
...
<FindRelatedProducts />
...
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Is this the correct way to copy the file ?
All the properties are set correctly I can see their correct value in the log
but it doesn't copy the file from source to destination neither do I get any
error.

Sandeep
