HI ALL,

I have Project A in folder AA

I do "Save Project As" -> new name B in folder BB

The new BB folder is populated with a list of files.

I change the Feature name of the project B and find the Feature name of project A changed accordingly: WHY?!?!

Thanks,

Because all you saved to the new location was the project, you also need to save the script file to the new location as well.

In the MSICOde view right click the script item and save it to the new location.

Thanks jimo,

I've solved duplicating the complete folder. The only thing I don't like now is that some script files in the new folder have still the old name...

Is it possible to rename them?

Thanks again,

Alberto

Yes, you can rename them, then open the msicode view and replace the include scripts with the new ones in the treeview and go through your script and change the there as well.

BTW, I cannot believe that there is no way to make a 'perfect copy' of a project in one operation.

Perfect copy to me means: project Apple inside the folder Apple with all the relevant files called Apple and project Orange inside the folder Orange with all the relevant files called Orange...

Thanks again,

Alberto
