Create 2 components, 1 component for each text file. Give them * guids. Use the same <File> element's Name attribute in both components but point the <File> Source attributes at different versions of the text file in each component. Add a condition to each component: one component's condition should be true if the box was ticked and the other component's condition should be true if the box was not ticked (there will be a property bound to the tick box that you can test). Add both components to the same feature. When the installer runs, only 1 component will be installed.
There's no need to copy or rename the file. -----Original Message----- From: Matej Kurpel [mailto:mkur...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 December 2011 17:24 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Copy other file when checkbox is checked? Hello all, I got a task of modifying an existing WiX installer. The files are copied in batches (File elements inside DirectoryRef elements) and one of these files (let's name it file.txt) should be modified if a checkbox was checked in one of the installer screens. I was able to create the checkbox but I was not able to figure out how to do this. So I created another file (file2.txt) with the idea that the installer package will contain both of them and, if the checkbox was not checked, file.txt is copied, otherwise, file2.txt is copied (but it is renamed to file.txt once in destination). Is there a way of doing this? Can't seem to find the right wording for google... maybe someone knows the answer, please? Thank you for all replies, M.
