I think David might be slightly irritated by the fact that the command you
quoted is incomplete:

<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c %SOFTWARE%\MyAppini "%ProgramFiles%\MyApp\'/>

most probably the following expresses what you intended to demonstrate:

<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /Y "%SOFTWARE%\MyApp.ini" "%ProgramFiles%\MyApp\"'/>

Quotes around the source/target path are strongly advised too because the path
might contain spaces (e.g. "%ProgramFiles%" resolves to "C:\Program Files" on a
default system in EN language).
