I also found another way of solving this issue. put the component (that contained the <CopyFile>) into a <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> element. This is possible because I specify both source (by FileId) and destination (by DestinationProperty) explicitely in the <CopyFile> element. I consider this way of doing it to be cleaner, since I avoid an artificial <CreateFolder> element. Thanks for all the replies anyway. Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.
