There's a MoveFile immediate CA in http://msiext.codeplex.com. Although "cmd.exe /C move "..."" will work as well on all operating systems except Windows 9x.

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.
