Your template matches any node, including attribute nodes, which is
excessive. When it matches the Source attribute node, it copies the attribute
and then tries to add an attribute under the attribute, which isn't valid. It
needs to match the component node, so it can add the attribute to that.
<xsl:template match="Component[ @Source = '$(var.GacFiles)\BizObjects.dll'
]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="Permanent">Yes</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select=="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
You might need to add the namespace prefix for Wix to your Component match,
depending on how you're handling the Wix namespace.
I'd avoid permanent components if at all possible - they are troublesome -
but I have come across a case before where it couldn't be helped.
