Sorry, I still don't understand. You want to create a folder on the Desktop of the target computer. In this folder you want to copy the setup itself?

I'm still not sure I understand correctly (hint: some punctuation in your zexz might help). But the Desktop is also just a folder, so if oyu need to install files or a folder to the desktop, you can use DesktopFolder (which si a predefined property) as destination.
