Hi All,

I've got a Dev9 project. It's got one component, "Program". I've written some script that does a copy of two different directories:

- from the SRCDIR\dir1 to TARGETDIR\dir1 and
- from the SRCDIR\dir2 to TARGETDIR\dir2

Currently, I'm doing this in Program_Installing() event -- but, I just realized that this may be the wrong place to be doing it, because, in the case of an Upgrade, Program_Installing() doesn't seem to get called! Where would you recommend moving this code to, so that it runs regardless of new install or upgrade?

Another thought -- maybe I should disable upgrade altogether? (Although it seems like I should be able to use it, as long as I put the code in the correct place.)

OnMoving and OnMoved always get called, so you could put the code in one of them. Note, though, that these events also get called during uninstalls, so you'll have to condition the code not to execute then.

Thanks, Kathy...

You wouldn't happen to know what that conditional code would look like, would you? Is there some global flag that is set on uninstall?

I think I'll answer my own question...

I suppose I can use MsiGetProperty() and test for something like...

if (UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) or (Not Installed) or (PATCH) then
// run code
endif;

.. Right?
