FWIW, EE Fixpack uses COPY_EXISTING on multiple WED files without issue.
Hmmm, must be something else I'm missing then.
Thanks for taking the time to test it clean, Lava. And CamDawg, good to know EE Fixpack uses COPY_EXISTING on WEDs without trouble — that narrows it down.
I'm fairly confident now it's on my end. I tracked down a file caching issue in the installer where copied files weren't being properly flushed to disk before WeiDU tried to read them. That would explain why the KEY file lookup fails intermittently — the data just wasn't fully there yet. I've patched the copy routine so it should be resolved on the next install run. I'll report back either way.
