AFAIK, DestinationDirectory is an identifier in the Directory table and
DestinationProperty is a name of the property, as stated in CopyFile uses
DuplicateFile/MoveFile table.
Either case, there should be no square brackets.
So declare the directory or the property - I would suggest the Directory and
use the identifier.
Here is an example.
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="TestFolder" Name="Test">
<Directory Id="TestConfigFolder" Name="Config"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<File Id="USER_XML" Name="user.xml" LongName="user.xml">
<CopyFile Id="CopyUserXml" DestinationDirectory="TestConfigFolder" />
</File>

I haven't tried this out, maybe other contributors will correct me. But
I think you can use any property between square brackets in
DestinationDirectory. Square brackets make the property to be evaluated.
The difference is between DestinationProperty and DestinationDirectory
would be:
DestinationProperty=MyProperty
DestinationDirectory=[MyProperty]
Maybe I'm wrong, but I understand that DestinationProperty waits for a
single property to contain the whole destination path.
Have you tried using DestinationDirectory?
