Your call to wcaaddtemprecord looks ok. The only thing I can guess at is that
you need to specify all 4 columns of the ListBox table, rather than just the
3 you have.
The other difference from my code is that I also have

And I give insertError

Why do you want to copy your content to the obj directory? Are you
modifying the content in some way as it goes to the obj directory? If not,
I would just add the content folder as a BindPath and let WiX do all the
heavy lifting grabbing the content and including it into the MSI
appropriately.
It's extra data you can register in ARP.
