Hello Bob, > I'd suggest creating a separate component for the backup > and give it a condition of NOT PATCH.
Thanks for the solution. I added a new component witn CopyFile and made it transitive. Now everything works as expected. But, this solution looks like a workaround. Most likely this is not WiX but Windows Installer issue. Is this planned behavior or not? > It's not reinstalled because you're not patching it. That is correct. And I expect that since MoveFile record references the component, and the component is not reinstalled, MoveFile record would also not be executed. But it IS executed if required arguments REINSTALL=ALL, REINSTALLMODE=omus are set.
