Setup Project: Backup Files

[Amy L.]

I have a project that is deployed using a MSI. When the user attempts to
install a new version of the program I require them to remove the existing
version first.

Is it possible to do the following
1.) Instead of having the user remove the program from the "add/remove
programs menu" have my setup project copy the existing version to a backup
directory?

Thanks
Amy

This type of behavior is not supported for Setup projects.
