You're looking in the wrong area of the log file. The FileCopy entries always make it look like something will happen, even if nothing actually does. Better to look at the Component section. Search you log file for Action: Null and see if it finds anything. Or send me your log file and I'll take a look.

It looks a little different than yours. The first is successfully installed when I run the msi/msp. The 2nd is not found on the installed media. Is there a way I can look inside the cab inside the msi to confirm that the "missing" file is indeed in the msi? Thanks.
