You'd have to use a CustomAction as MSI only has the DuplicateFile table that 
can make copies of files that MSI is installing.  There is no built-in folder 
copying mechanism.   You'd also have to handle your own overwrite rules and 
rollback/commit processing.


It's usually a better idea to rethink the original problem and try to avoid 
doing these types of things by redesigning the application if possible.
