vb script - rename file

My knowledge of vbs scripting is very limited and i have searched a bit for some code to rename a file and found some code but when i run it within an msi it errors it works when jsut simply running .vbs file but not when i place code with in a custom action in an msi.


Dim oFSO
Dim sSourceFile
Dim sDestinationFile

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

sSourceFile = "C:\Program Files\Caddsman\Architect 2003\Library\Openings\Windowbuilder.txt"
sDestinationFile = "C:\Program Files\Caddsman\Architect 2003\Library\Openings\Windowbuilder.ini"

oFSO.MoveFile sSourceFile, sDestinationFile

Set oFso = Nothing


Was wondering if anyone would know of better way to rename a file?

Hi Ryath,

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.MoveFile "C:\FSO\ScriptLog.txt" , "C:\FSO\BackupLog.txt"

Got this from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/default.mspx

TechNet Home > Script Center > Script Repository > Storage > Files

Hope this helps.
