Hi Phil,
Below is how the issue was resolved:
<Component Id="PreferencesFile"
Guid="{A4E1FFCE-1534-43BF-AA2B-CDFD39381720}" Directory="TARGETDIR">
<File Id='preferences'
Source='$(var.GuiPath)\screens\preferences.xml' KeyPath='yes'>
<CopyFile Id='Copy_Prefs'
DestinationProperty='CopyDestination' />
</File>
</Component>
Thanks for the inputs.
Regards,
Suva Jyoti
