I have an application that saves Enterprise Library log files to 
[installdir]\app_data and on uninstallation the app_data directory remains. 
This is fine because there are important logfiles there.

On a new installation, I would like to detect the existence of all files there, 
create a new directory (with  GUID appended for uniqueness) and copy them into 
another location, so the new installation is only dealing with writing new log 
files.

I was playing around with the CopyFile element to make this happen but it does 
not look like I can use wildcards. Can anyone recommend a good strategy for 
doing what I want?

Thanks.

Here is the base I was working from:

<DirectoryRef Id="MyProgramDir">
<Component Id="CMP_MoveTestTXT"
Guid="E25E8584-D009-43bE-99E9-A46D58105DD0"
KeyPath="yes">
<CopyFile Id="MoveTest"
DestinationDirectory="CopiedFiles"
DestinationName="TESTCopy.txt"
SourceDirectory="DesktopFolder"
SourceName="TEST.txt"
Delete="yes" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
