Unpack file results in error "Cannot find file to unpack"

I cannot for the life of me get the unpackFile instruction to find the file in the installation to unpack.  I have literally tried all combinations with the path, without the path, and the installations always errors out "Cannot find file to unpack: allowed.dat"

Here is my unpack instruction:

<unpackFile> <addToUninstaller>1</addToUninstaller> <component>default</component> <destination>${windows_folder_appdata}\ep</destination> <folder>MacAppSupportUser</folder> <origin>allowed.dat</origin> </unpackFile>

Also, please see the screenshot of the file that is included inside the package that I want to unpack.

Thanks,

Brett

I solved this myself.  I realized that the Platforms was set to Windows and we compile for Windows 64 bits.  This means that the file was not even packaged because of that rule.  It worked when I changed the platform.
