The "Execute" element is missing in the custom action. Set it to "deferred" or "immediate"

I've added a ControlEvent for this: <Publish Dialog="FatalError" Control="Finish" Event="DoAction" Value="CopyLogFile"> 1 </Publish> And then later... <CustomAction Id="CopyLogFile" Property="MsiLogFileLocation" ExeCommand="xcopy.exe /h /r /y "[MsiLogFileLocation]" c:\logs\" Impersonate="yes" Return="ignore" /> The custom action fires when a launch condition fails. The custom action returns an error: MSI (c) (B4:6C) [14:24:54:088]: Doing action: FatalError Action 14:24:54: FatalError. Action start 14:24:54: FatalError. Action 14:24:54: FatalError. Dialog created MSI (c) (B4:10) [14:24:54:134]: Note: 1: 2731 2: 0 MSI (c) (B4:C0) [14:24:54:320]: Doing action: CopyLogFile Action 14:24:54: CopyLogFile. Action start 14:24:54: CopyLogFile.

A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: CopyLogFile, location: C:\dev\\install.log, command: "xcopy.exe" /h /r /y "C:\dev\install.log" "c:\logs\" I've tried running simpler commands ("c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c echo works") , checked directory permissions, etc. Still see the same failure. What's going wrong?
