That's because of this: Directory Id='DesktopFolder' Name='PFiles' This will put files on the users desktop - are you sure that's what you want? (Hint: it's probably not) Change this to ProgramFilesFolder (or ProgramFiles64Folder). Remember how you were getting a similar error previously?

In theory, just removing this line should do it: Directory Id='DesktopFolder' Name='PFiles' I haven't tried that though, so I'm not 100% sure. If not, you can also try a custom action which sets the directory. Generally, you should think twice before dropping files directly under c:\ -
