Hi all, 

I need to detect if a file with name xxx sits beside the MSI during install
and if it does, copy it
 
A) over top of a freshly installed file by the same name in the product
directory (in case of a
 fresh install) 

B) over top of an already existing file by the same name in the product
directory (in case of an
 update) 

I believe that I need to use CopyFile and FileSearch to achieve this but am
not clear on how to do
 this; for instance, does sequencing come into play (in the case of A)
obviously the file copying
 must already have happened before I can attempt to overwrite). 

Any pitfalls around sufficient rights to overwriting files? 



Thanks for any pointers, 
K
