Jarl:
Try using the CopyFile in this way:
<Component>
<File>
<CopyFile />
</File>
</Component>
I believe that CopyFile as a child to a Component element is for a file that
already exists on the machine. In your case, you look to be installing the
file and copying it in your MSI.

I have a
<Directory Id="MyDir">
<Component Id="Comp1">
<File Id="fileID" ... />
<Component>
<Component Id="Comp2">
<CopyFile FileId="fileID" />
<Component>
</Directory>
This results in
Error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'Comp2' is Directory:
'MyDir'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the
CreateFolders table.
According to the documentation, the above should be the way to select
copying a file, by installing/uninstalling the parent
component. However, when the parent component does not contain any
other elements than a CopyFile, I get the above error.
Can someone tell me what it means? and what I should do to resolve it?
