CustomUpdate - filecopy - path/variable to additional files?

[spiritbreaker22]

Hi,

i need to create a custom update with an msi package and addtional files. So i created a custom update with an MSI action and file copy task.

In a later step the test.txt file is added to the addional files and install rules was defined. But the Update works not like expected, the additional files were not copied.

Im not sure how to address the addtional files in "source path" within Custom Update Creator File Copy Action:

Sourcefile: %IdontKnowPathofCustomUpdateEngine.exe%\test.txt
Target: c:\tmp

Is there a variable for this?

Thanks!

I am just now starting to use WPP and I have this same question. The wiki doesn't seem to have any info on this either.

I also need to copy an additional file to a specific location on disk during the update, and would much prefer it to be self contained in the update and not reference an external file share.
