Is it possible to run copy or even xcopy from a custom action?
I've created one that has the following properties:
Type: 50
Source: SystemFolder
Target: xcopy.exe /y "[PROPERTY1]" "[PROPERTY2]"
Manually the command runs without any problems, but from the install, it causes an error.
I'm trying to avoid having to write custom code just to copy 1 file.

It actually turned out to be the type I was using. It should be 34 instead of 50.
Thanks,
