The path of the CommonAppData directory is found in the "CommonAppData" property after CostFinalize. The same with all the entries in the Directory table.

I am now working on getting the custom action going to back up the existing settings.xml file. I am using this page as a guide: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasongin/archive/2008/05/23/custom-action-project-te mplates.aspx I have created a custom action project, and it builds. I am a bit confused though, can I pass the directory and name of the file I want to back up from WiX or do I need to hardcode it? The settings file is located in the "CommonAppData" directory (in XP C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\MyApplicationName\Settings.xml is the file I need to back up). How can I pass that to C# to reference it? Then when I'm referencing the custom action in WiX, that page makes a mention of "TargetDir" and "TargetName"... what does it mean by this? Oh my goodness, I'm so confused... a little more help, please! THANK YOU!
