TempFolder

I am using BASIC MSI project in which i m installing a file(xxx.xml) in [TempFolder]

Installation of file is happening in TempFolder but when i m using the function
like this

nResult = CopyFile(TempFolder^\\xxx.xml,TARGETDIR^\\xxx.xml)

NResult value is -2147024894 (An unspecified error occured)

I checked and the file is present in temp folder.
But In copyFile function it is referring to some other place.

File is in "C:\Doc&Set\user\localsetting\Temp\2"
but in Copy file function TempFolder is "C:\Doc&Set\user\localsetting\Temp"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
