Do I have this correct that you want to let the user select where the install directory is and also where the directory is that their data is stored? You can do this in WiX by adding a user interface to your installer and make use of the DirectoryList and DirectoryCombo controls. They'll let the user navigate to and select folders. As for backing up your data, WiX does let you copy files with its CopyFile element. You might want to experiment with it though because you may not need to back them up. WiX may only remove the files that it knew about at install time. So other files created by your application would remain on the machine, untouched during an upgrade or uninstall. But you'd want to check that out to be sure. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Update-with-a-database-tp5631552p5647792.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
