Hi
I would try
1) Putting your path in the name field instead of using the path attribute
(though your forward-slashes should be fine)
2) Consider using the source_permissions flag in the file copy to rule out
any permissions issues.
3) Making sure the name attribute of the package matches whatever will
appear in Add/Remove Programs
This page was invaluable to me when starting out writing Windows
