Copy files and folders from target machine

Can anyone tell me how to copy folders(including sub-directories and files) in one location in the target machine to another location? I do not want to package these files in msi at build time. these files exist only in the user computer that I will access during installation. Is there a way to do that in WIX? if so how does it handle the uninstall and rollback?

The only way to do it without having to worry about uninstall and rollback is to list all the files as File elements.  Everything else requires custom code.
