    <Directory Id="WindowsFolder">
      <Directory Id="Help" Name="Help">
        <Component Id="help.chm" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE">
          <File Id="help.chm" Name="help.chm"
Source="..\..\Packages\help.chm" />
          </Component>
      </Directory>
    </Directory>

I suggest you use a more 'unique' name than "help.chm" though.

Subject: [WiX-users] Copy a file to Windows\Help folder

Hi,
 I need to copy a file to Windows\Help folder. I done it by extracts
file to install location and then copied to Windows\Help folder, and
then deleting during uninstall.
snippet for that,
<Component Id="C_HELP" Guid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000">
      <File Id ="F_HELP" Name="help.chm"
Source="..\..\Packages\help.chm">
        <CopyFile Id="CopyHelpFile" DestinationProperty="WINHELP"/>
      </File>
      <RemoveFile Id="RemoveHelpFile" Property="WINHELP" Name="help.chm"

On="uninstall"/>
</Component>

Here help.chm presented in two places(Installation location and
Windows\Help). But, its not required. I need single copy of help.chm at
Windows\Help.
Is there any other way to copy a file directly to Windows\Help folder?

Thanks.

Regards,
-SMR
