Problems with TemplateFile Extension [TemplateFiles_Deferred] std::exception: 0x80070002

[Bernhard B]

Hy,

when i'm trying to use the TemplateFile extension i'm getting the following error while installing the msi (msi log file):

TemplateFiles_Deferred: [TemplateFiles_Deferred] std::exception: 0x80070002 - Error getting file attributes of Reporting.cfg: The system cannot find the file specified.
MSI (s) (BC!3C) [12:55:02:217]: Closing MSIHANDLE (1752) of type 790531 for thread 5180
CustomAction TemplateFiles_Deferred returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

Here is a copy of my wix component definition:

<Component Id="ReportingConfigFile" Guid="2232F8FA-5C46-4423-BFA3-43C0F5EAE18F">
<File Id="Reportingcfg" Name="Reporting.cfg" Source="$(var.Reporting.TargetDir)config\Reporting.cfg.template" KeyPath="yes"/>
<SystemTools:TemplateFile Id="ChangeReportingConfigFile" Source="[#Reportingcfg]" Target="[#Reportingcfg]" ExecuteOnInstall="yes">

<SystemTools:TemplateFileProperty Id="DB_AC_PWDE_property2" Name="DB_AC_PWD" Value="[DB_AC_PWD]"/>
<SystemTools:TemplateFileProperty Id="DB_PROVIDER_NAME_property2" Name="DB_PROVIDER_NAME" Value="[DB_PROVIDER_NAME]"/>
<SystemTools:TemplateFileProperty Id="DB_INSTANCE_property2" Name="DB_INSTANCE" Value="[DB_INSTANCE]"/>
<SystemTools:TemplateFileProperty Id="REPORTSAPPDATA_property" Name="REPORTSAPPDATA" Value="[REPORTSAPPDATA]"/>
</SystemTools:TemplateFile>
</Component>

Without the TemplateFile extension the file Reporting.cfg is copied to the correct location.

Can aony one help me?

The error says that the file doesn't exist. You've set source to be the destination, I think that's the problem. It should be the .template file, not the destination .cfg.
