I changed the directory as suggested and I still receive an error. I ran msival2 and it did not really find anything. I have attached the results.
Since it seems there was confusion in my previous posts, I will reiterate my problem. I have used the copy task to assemble the installation directory as I would like it to be created on the user's system. The directory is located at c:\source\IntelliPlot\build\install. In this directory I have 15 .NET assemblies (1 exe and 14 dll's), and several other files. The .NET assemblies are being treated specially by the MSITask (I assume so that it can install them into the GAC). MSITask runs with no errors, but when I run the installation I receive the following error: "The file '_00E55971FB374BCBB52CE99046E47539' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet file 'IntelliPlot.cab'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package" I extracted the cabinet file and examined its contents. It is storing all of the files with path names. Extracting the files into a directory such as C:\temp, places the files in c:\temp\source\IntelliPlot\build\install\Temp. I created a new cabinet file that contains the files without path information, so that extracting all the files to c:\temp places the files in c:\temp. I then overwrote the cabinet file that MSITask created in the MSI with the one that I created. After doing this the installation, ran file. I did not receive the error mentioned above. I am very curious why I am the only person that has had this problem, since it seems like there are a fair number of people that use MSITask. I would be willing to try and track down what is wrong with MSITask, but I fear that without having any knowledge of it I will only produce a hack that will not be very useful to anyone else. I was hoping that someone that has worked on or with MSITask would be better suited to either fix the task so at least get me pointed in the right direction so that I can fix it myself.

Set msi.sourcedir to one directory level above install.dir. The sourcedir will get cluttered by .cab files, .msi files and a Temp directory during the msi task process. 2. After creating an msi archive, test it using MsiVal2.exe from the Installer SDK (against the darice.cub tests). It has detected many problems for me as I was starting to use MSITask.
