Temporary Files Operations in the Files and Folders Page.

Temporary files are files that are not handled by Windows Installer. They are copied at the beginning of the setup process on the CostFinalize standard action and removed at the end of the setup after the InstallFinalize standard action.

In order to easily recognize them in the Files list they have the following icon:

Adding Temporary Files

Use the [ Add Temporary Files ] toolbar button, the "Add Temporary Files..." tree/list context menu item. You can add more than one file at a time. If a file with the same name already exists in the target directory, the file to be added is skipped.

Setting temporary file properties

Use the [ Properties... ] toolbar button, the "Properties..." list context menu item, press the Enter key while the focus is on a temporary file in the "Files" panel or double click on a file. The Edit Temporary File will be displayed allowing you to edit the temporary file properties.

Renaming temporary files

Use the "Rename" context menu item or press the F2 key.

Moving temporary files to a different folder

Select the items to be moved then drag and drop them to the target folder.

Removing temporary files

Use the [ Delete ] toolbar button, the "Delete" tree/list context menu item, or press the Delete key.
