I am new to SetupBuilder and I am wondering how to create a script that will ceck to see if a specified file exists in a certain location. If a file with that same name exists, delete the file and copy over a file from a different location to that location. If the file does not exist, copy the file to that location.

Any help would be greatly appreaciated!
(I have SetupBuilder 7)

Ashley,

No problem. See the attached code-snippet.

If the file LICENSE.LIC does exist in C:\Program Files\CoolApp\Modules then the installer will delete the file. The next step is to copy LICENSE.LIC from a network drive over to C:\Program Files\CoolApp\Modules

BTW, here is an interesting network drive (for UAC operating systems) reading:

Does this help?
