Hi Denis, Thank soo much , you nailed it right. I just made the changes you suggested and its working , but it seems to run everytime i install the MSI or Uninstall or Repair.. So i added <Custom Action='BackupFiles' Before='InstallFiles'><![CDATA[&F_Online=3]]></Custom> <Custom Action='DoBackupFiles' Before='InstallFiles'><![CDATA[&F_Online=3]]></Custom>
So i guess it will run only if F_Online Feature is getting installed. Hey there only one this left i need to acomplist in this....any idea ? This Msi Package which i am creating needs to be created in such way that , on our production server it is always going to be Install (Never Uninstall). this is why i wanted to all this backup Action before install. So wht can i change that it will allow over an existing Msi Product. Unlike right now it gives me an error "Another Version of this Product is already installed". Because i want all of my Components to be Unmanaged , I guess i am going to leave Guid attribute as an empty string. Do u think its okey.. I just dont know the concequesces of this. All actually i want is no updation in registry at all and just an installer (no removal). Let me know and thanks for you suggestion. again Bob Denis Zavorotnyuk wrote: > > Bob, as far as I understood your CustomAction simply set the > Property='BackupFiles' with the value specified.
