    File going to the wrong folder

    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? (Or, more correctly, how to fix it)

    Here's the data from the .sf8 file:

    Code:
    <FileData>
    <FldRef>0</FldRef>
    <FullName>#PROJECTFILEDIR#\SupportFiles\QRes.exe</FullName>
    <FileName>QRes.exe</FileName>
    <Source>#PROJECTFILEDIR#\SupportFiles</Source>
    <Ext>exe</Ext>
    <RTSource>Archive</RTSource>
    <Desc>Support Files</Desc>
    <Recurse>1</Recurse>
    <MatchMode>0</MatchMode>
    <Dest>%TempLaunchFolder%</Dest>
    BUT --- The file is not there! (I know; because the script errors out because it can't fidn it.)

    Here's info from the install log:

    Code:
    [06/26/2009 15:20:14] Success	Install archive file: C:\Program Files\SchoolCheckIN\QRes.exe
    The very next file to be installed, is also set to go to %TempLaunchFolder% -- and it does.

    QRes.exe only appears once as a file in the installer.

    Any ideas?

    Mystery solved

    as it turns out; my client (and not admitting to it) was changing all references in the .sf8 file from %temp-anything% to %AppFolder% since "nothing should go in a temp folder" Since I had a copy of the .sf8, and I sent it to him "Please build this, and run it" -- I assumed (I know!) he did just that; and returned to me the log file...

    What's really frustrating is I asked him 3 times to just "build" ("You're not editing the file, just hit build....")
