Is there any way to have InstallShield automatically back up replaced files to a certain directory? I don't want to have to copy each file out in InstallScript. Does anyone know a way to do this? Thanks!

K, so after I posted I figured I could use the OnInstallingFile() function to copy that particular file out to a given dir. Is there a better way to do that? Is there a way to do that for registry entries without creating new registry entries to store them? I keep thinking that there's got to be some functionality in InstallShield that takes care of that.
If it helps, what I'm trying to do is write a ServicePack installation that can be uninstalled and still have the program work how it did before.

I'm also very interested! Any updates?
