Error 136 when including support files

I'm having a problem trying to get my install to build.

Here's my problem:
I am making an installer for a product. Now, it requires another installer to have been run first (a bunch of prerequisite software packages that need to be installed). Normally, I would import it as an object, but I need to insure that everything on this install CD is installed first before my installer begins.

My attempt at a solution is to include the installer as a support directory to the Last Disk. The problem I'm having is that one of the files is refusing to be copied, and throws an error thereby aborting the build of the installation.

So, here are my questions:
1.) Why would a file be unable to be copied to a directory that supposed to be automatically created by the building process?

2.) Are there any better solutions than the one I'm proposing?

Thanks!

I need to clear some things up:

- I made a mistake in describing my problem. I am actually trying to include the prereq installer in Disk1, not Last Disk.
- The Error is 136 - "The system cannot find the path specified."

I'm still having problems with this. Does anybody have any possible solutions to this problem?

Thanks!

Solved.

Turns out the file was in a folder path so lengthy that it exceeded the Windows maximum folder length. =P

Anyway, there it is.
