Have you considered an option to put this responsibility on the application, not installation? As you mentioned, the file is not installed, but is created by the application, so the misprint is rather a bug of application...

When my application runs for the 1st time, it creates a file named devcie.txt under the installation folder. Since the file name is a typo (should be device.txt), I want to provide a higher version .msi to perform a major upgrade and rename the file during the installation. My code is like: <Property Id="QtExecCmdLine" Value="rename "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Devcie.txt" Device.txt" /> <CustomAction Id="QtExecExample" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> . . . <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="QtExecExample" After="InstallFinalize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> But it doesn't work. The error logs: CAQuietExec: Command string must begin with quoted application name. CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070057: invalid command line property value CAQuietExec: Error 0x80070057: failed to get Command Line Look forward your help. Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-rename-an-existing-file-after-installation-m ajor-upgrade-tp4506348p4506348.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
