Finding the folder location

[Ford Falcon]

Hi all,
I am running into a little bother with trying to get a setup file built in SUF6.0. I am creating a setup file that needs to look for the existence of a file prior to installing a newer version. I want the install to be able to look for the old executable file, and depending on which directory it is under, I want to be able to assign a variable to the folder it finds it under, so that I can create a backup of that folder, by renaming the folder?

I searched on the site and found some handy info, but I can't quite make it work.

Would someone tell me how I could use the "search for file" option?
Eg: Say the file is located at e:\fred\test.exe, how would I enter that information in the Search for File, and how would I specify that in the custom directory?

Thanks in advance

Okay, I think I figured that out by using the Parse Path.
Now I have another problem, once I've renamed the directory, I want to move all files from the previous directory to this other one. I used the command:

Move Files (%PrevDir%\*.* -> %olddir%)

But I get an Error. Is the simple syntax I'm missing out here?

It really depends on what you have those variables set to. You seem to have the right idea though.

Also keep in mind that you must create the folder to copy the files into before the Copy Files action takes place.
