I'm sure you could...I just assumed that the files would remain intact since
they were there before the installation started.

Could you not use <RemoveFile> if the files in question should be removed

Well, you could probably still use that search to verify that the files DO
exist and base your launch conditions off of that. Then you could use the
<FileCopy /> to move the files. I think, however, that with this they will
not be removed upon uninstall.

I don't want to set my directory to the current location of the files on
their machine, rather I want to copy those files to the location they choose
to install the software.
So say the required files were in c:\myfiles\ and they chose to install
to c:\program files\installdir\ then I want to basically have the effect of
"copy c:\myfiles\filex.txt c:\program files\installdir\filex.txt"

You could do a file or a directory search at the beginning where the
result of the search will be saved in a <Property />, and I believe that you
can then set your launch condition based upon that property. Also, if
everything checks out with the directory or file search, then you could set
your installation directory to the result of that? Is that what you're
looking for? Check out the <FileSearch /> and <DirectorySearch /> elements
out if so.

For a particular installation, the user has some of the files required for
installation already on their system prior to running the installer.
I want to copy these files into the installation directory.
Is there a preferred method for doing this?
Would I need a Custom Action, can I manually insert these locally hosted
files into the database tables at install time, or is there another method?
