So you only want to condition the copy (which corresponds to a MoveFile table row I guess) but not the instalaltion of the component. To do this you need to put the copy element in a separate component, because rows in the MoveFile table can't have conditions by themselves, instead they use components as a "gate".

I was trying to achieve this through the condition element, but I just can make it work... :( Thanks again.
