VS 2003 Install Projrect, Custom Folder

[Gary Larimer]

This is the 1st time I have tried to create an msi file in VS 2003 and
everything appears to be OK except for one thing. I created a Custom Folder
which contains 'Banner.bmp' and 'Splash Screen.bmp' used by the Installer.
The Properties window for the Custom Folder contains the following entries:

(Name) User's Temporay Folder
AlwaysCreate False
Condition
DefaultLocation [TempFolder]
Property
Transitive False

With these entries I get the following error mesg: Invalid property for
folder "User's Temporary Folder". I believe the problem is the blank entry
for the Properties property, but not sure.

Tanks for any comments\information.

This is a Visual Studio build issue, not an MSI thing. You just need to put
some made-up property name in there that is not going to be initialized,
then it will build. The install location will default to TempFolder because
that made-up property name has no value.
