Look for all lines in the log referring to the MoveFiles action to see if your
file move operation shows up there or not.

> Subject: [WiX-users] WiX v3.7 - CopyFile not working
>
> I'm creating a major upgrade for a program using WiX. The last version of the
> program had a data file that is always found in C:\. I am allowing the user
> to either keep the file in the same location or select a different location.
> I am using a CopyFile element to move the file, which looks like this:
>
> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="CMP_Data"
> Guid="{C35F8888-D868-4B18-991E-29E217EFE445}" KeyPath="yes"> <CopyFile
> Id="CopyData" DestinationDirectory="DATALOCATION" DestinationName="Remindex
> Local Data" SourceProperty="ORIGINALDATA" SourceName="Remindex Local Data"
> Delete="yes"/> </Component></DirectoryRef>
>
> DATALOCATION is a property which contains the path the user chooses in a
> PathEdit dialog. ORIGINALDATA is the original location of the files to be
> moved. They both also serve as ID's for Directories in my directory
> structure.
> The files should be moved from ORIGINALDATA to DATALOCATION. However, nothing
> is happening. I tried putting ORIGINALDATA in both the SourceDirectory and
> SourceProperty attributes.
> There are no errors showing up in the log file. I don't know if this helps,
> but here are the only three instances where CMP_Data shows up in the log:
>
> Component: CMP_Data; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local
>
> _CMP_Data65; Installed: Null; Request: Local; Action: Local
>
> _CMP_Data66; Installed: Null; Request: Local; Action: Local
> Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
