Hi Brian,
Many thanks.
I took your advice and made the code change. It works now.
Here is the working code:
<Component Id="CopyAppIcoFile" Guid="97B5836B-E1AB-4910-8C00-91EE2A25F399">
<CopyFile Id="MyCopyFiles"
FileId="FILE_APPICO"
DestinationProperty="FOLDER_IMAGES" />
</Component>
Thanks again,
/Brian

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0: How to CopyFile
Hey Brian,
Per your example, remove CopyFile/@SourceName and CopyFile/@SourceProperty.
Add CopyFile@/FileId and set it to the File/@Id which equals app.ico. OR,
move the <CopyFile/> under the <File/> and then remove the CopyFile/@FileId.
According to documentation (
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_copyfile.htm)
CopyFile/@SourceProperty is a more advanced need.
Hope that helps,
Brian Rogers
