In my Portuguese test source CD some files are corrupted.

One of them is wordpad.ex_

It is expanded to %Target% by

Expand,"%SourceDir%\i386\wordpad.ex_","%TargetDir%\i386\system32"

And the log says:

[Success] Expand - [V:\BCD\cds\XPP_PTI_SP2\i386\wordpad.ex_] to: [%BaseDir%\Target\LiveXP\i386\system32]

But really the file is not on the target.
As a result, the user will not have wordpad in the PE and he may be a bit astonished.

A much more 'critical' sample:
My file USP10.dl_ is also corrupted (needed by mmc).
If I install mmc, following the log everything is ok.
But the PE boots into blue screen with the hint that usp10.dll is missing.

A good reason to waste a lot of time in the forum:

• "I have a bsod"
• Please post the log
• posted
• Log is ok, please describe bsod
• "Something missing"
• What's missing
• "usp10.dll"
• Look into your target system
• "Missing there, too"
• Expand manually
• "Error on expanding"

Expand should indeed check if the file do exists on destination after expanding - a check will be added..

Thanks for taking the time to expose this flaw..
