You're trying to copy to a privileged location. You need to either be
installing perMachine or you need to elevate and have an installing user with
Administrator privileges. An unprivileged user can't install or copy to
"C:\Program Files" ordinarily.

Subject: [WiX-users] Not able to copy a file using CopyFile from installers
install location to a target destination
Hi All,
I have the requirement of creating an installer that on executing will
install to the location "C:\Energy Solutions
International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0" the following 5 directories:
db,data,engine,security, gui. These five directories are being harvested
from a location using Heat. Below is the structure of the Wix source
file i have:
<Property Id="CopyDestination"
Value="$(var.copyRoot)\$(var.rootFolder)\$(var.installFolder)"/>
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='EnergySolutions' Name="Energy Solutions
International">
<Directory Id='TORT' Name='PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0'>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<SetDirectory Id="EnergySolutions" Value="[WindowsVolume]Energy
Solutions International"/>
<Feature Id='Complete' Title='Tort Installer' Description='Tort
Installer' Level='1'>
<ComponentGroupRef Id='db'/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id='data'/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id='engine'/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id='security'/>
<ComponentGroupRef Id='gui'/>
<ComponentRef Id="PreferencesFile" />
</Feature>
</Product>
I want to copy a file called preferences.xml that will be found under
C:\Energy Solutions International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0\gui\screens on
installation to the c:\programdata\Energy Solutions
International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0 as this file will be used by an
exe that would be present in the location of the installation at
C:\Energy Solutions International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0\gui
I am aware that the CopyFile would be used to do so but am not able to
use it properly. Please suggest some solution around the same.
I have tried something like the below:
<DirectoryRef Id="TORT">
<Component Id="PreferencesFile"
Guid="{A4E1FFCE-1534-43BF-AA2B-CDFD39381720}">
<File Id="FilePref" Source="gui\screens\preferencel.xml"
KeyPath="yes">
<CopyFile Id="Copy" DestinationProperty="CopyDestination"/>
</File>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
But this does not work. Please provide some help on this as i am stuck
on this.
Regards,
Suvra Jyoti
