Hi All,

Everyone has been really helpfull here with me, first thankyou soo much for
this help.

Okey now my Question, I am trying to run a Custom action before Install
Files , this action is to just xcopy existing folder from h:\Sites to
h:\BackupSites , i added the custome action and InstallExecute Sequence as
below:-

<CustomAction Id='BackupFiles' Value ='c:\xcopy /e /c  /y h:\Sites
h:\BackupSites' Property='BackupFiles'></CustomAction>

    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <Custom Action='BackupFiles' Before='InstallFiles'></Custom>
    </InstallExecuteSequence>

My Product.wxs file complie and generates an MSI with no errors.
But when i install the MSI this action is running but with exit code 1 as
below, part of Log file is below:

Action 16:28:27: BackupFiles. 
Action start 16:28:27: BackupFiles.
Action ended 16:28:27: BackupFiles. Return value 1.

it seems the action is running but some error while executing. How can i Use
Xcopy in this scenario to use as custom action to run before InstallFiles
Action.

Waiting.
Thanks
