Copying and Moving Files on the Destination Computer
You can add an operation to copy or move a file on the destination computer during
installation. This operation affects files that are already on the destination computer, not
files that are part of the installation.
You might copy or move files on the destination computer to reorganize the location of
the installation files in a new release. Example: Your application installed graphic files to
C:\Program Files\Application\Graphics, but your latest release installs them to C:\My
Documents\Application. You can add an operation to copy or move the existing graphic
files from the old directory to the new directory.
Caution
Be very careful when moving files on the destination computer. Do not move files unless you
are sure that they are not used by another application.
1. Do one of the following:
• Select Installation Expert > Files or Web Files page.
From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item you
add must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item when All
Features is selected.)
Items you add to a feature are only installed on the destination computer if the
feature is installed. Items you add to a condition are only installed if the feature
is installed and the condition is true.
Click Operation below the lower right list box and select Copy File or Move File.
• In Setup Editor, on the Components or Features tab, right-click a component or
feature, select New, and select Copy File or Move File.
The Copy File Details or Move File Details dialog appears.
2. Complete the dialog:
• Source Directory
Specify the directory on the destination computer where the file is located or
create a new subdirectory. To create a new subdirectory, select a directory and
click New Folder.
