Package & deployment wizard problem

Package & deployment wizard

When I try to make a setup file for application I encounter a few bugs.
This are the steps I make:

- I select the project for which I want a setup file.
- I choose for package

- I choose packaging script: Standard setup package 1

- I choose package type: standard setup package

- I select the folder where I want to install the package

- Then I get to choose which file I want to include in the package
These are present in that screen:
mscomctl.ocx
msvcrt.dll
myfile.exe << my file
scrrun.dll
setup.exe
setup1.exe
st6unst.exe
VB6 Runtime and Ole automation
VB6stkit.dll

- I choose for single cab

- Installation title: myfile 1.0.0.

- I choose a start menu group

- Then I can modify the install location of the files:
mscomctl.ocx
myfile.exe
scrrun.dll
(but I leave it as it is)

- I don't choose to share myfile.exe

- I save the settings of the session under standard setup package 1
- I press finish

The setup file has been created in the target directory
Along with the files:
myfile.exe
setup.lst
and a directory has been created with the name:Support

When I run the setup file I choose to install to the directory:
c:\program files\project1

It tries to install but I receive the message:
c:\windows\system\msvcrt.dll
An access Violation occured while copying the file

And the installation is aborted.

Why is the installion aborted, and why are there so many files in the package ?
(I thought it would create just one setup file)
