Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to rename a file that is embedded in a project
template, after the template has been instanitated by creating a new project
from it.

The technique I have been attempting is to use an IWizard for the project
to change the name of TargetFileName attribute in my VSTemplate file, using
the replacements dictionary in the RunStarted() method.

e.g.: <ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true" TargetFileName="$suggestedmodel$.cw">Workflow1.cw</ProjectItem>

This does not appear to be working and I'm hoping someone has had experience
using IWizard and can suggest an appropriate solution.

I'm getting the following error:
Unable to copy the file 'Workflow1.cw' from the project template to the project.
Cannot find the file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Temp\obbjix.dae\Temp\Workflow1.cw'.

The only other thing to try that I can think of is to put code in the ProjectItemFinishedGenerating(),
look for 'Workflow1.cw' ProjectItem, and attempt to rename the file there.

I'm trying to follow the documentation from:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185301(VS.80).aspx


Here is my vstemplate file:
