I tried the following but the msi just fails
<Binary Id='backupmy.bat' SourceFile="Backup\backup.bat"/>
<CustomAction Id='testbackup' BinaryKey='backupmy.bat'
ExeCommand='' Return='check'/>
...
<Custom Action='testbackup' Before='InstallFiles'>Not Installed
OR REINSTALL</Custom>
I can't find this file either C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI1429.tmp as it
gets removed.

A batch file? Wow, this is for an internal tool only right?

Add the batch file as a Binary and run the custom action before
InstallFiles.

Hi there
I am trying to backup all files under INSTALLDIR before installation
M plan is to use custom action to run a bat file that does the copying.
I tried running the bat file as is and deploying the bat file itself
first
The problem is that MSI InstallFiles action install all files before my
custom action kicks in and overwrites my old binaries
Any help is appreciated
Brian
