In my OnFirstUIAfter function, I rename a file that was just installed, using:
RenameFile(FileName1, FileName2);
In my OnMaintUIAfter function, I install FileName1 again, but it needs to over-write FileName2, just as it did in the initial install. If I simply use:
RenameFile(FileName1, FileName2);
Nothing happens. I still have both files in the INSTALLDIR, and FileName2 is out of date.
Believing that there's a problem with the installer script not being able to rename an existing file, I have since determined to delete the file prior to the rename.
DeleteFile(FileName2);
RenameFile(FileName1, FileName2);
And still nothing happens. Both files are still in the INSTALLDIR.
Keep in mind that FileName2 is not a file being installed by any previous install. All the installs install FileName1 and then rename it to FileName2.
Any words of wisdom? I'm completely out of ideas.
