product: installshield for windows installer 2.0

i want to install a dll (our application's dll) in system32 directory and NOT under INSTALLDIR (which is the case for rest of the files of our project).
For this i am using 'Add a Destination' under Advanced Views->Desitnation table.
Here, i want to use a Directory table entry, namely, SystemFolder to do it...but if i add a destination  [SystemFolder], then add a new component and attach the dll to this component it does not work. ie it does not copy the file to the SystemFolder.

please help...It is URGENT
if there is any other easy way of putting the dll in systemfolder please let me know.

eagerly waiting for clues..
thanks

Try the Setup Design view or the Components view to create your component (don't forget to attach it to a feature) and set the Destination to [SystemFolder]
