I am fairly new to the creation of SMS packages and I need a little help with a couple of things, if anyone could please help.

1) The package will be doing an Uninstall of old version of software and an install of new version. Before I uninstall old version, I need to backup a directory on the pc, then uninstall, then install new version, then move the backed up files back to the new version of the software. I can not figure out how to move those files from the old version to a temp location and then move them back when the installation has been completed.

2) The user needs to be a local admin on his pc to do the Uninstall/install. I already have a check to make sure that they are an admin before proceding with the install, however, I would like to know who has rejected the install. Is it possible to have the user ID of the person logged into the machine sent to a log file somewhere and appended to that file?

Any help with these two issues will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
B
