Juvigy Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi Guys, I have a working VBS that i use to extract ZIP files. Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") user = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserName%") strZipFile = "c:\128.zip" outFolder = "c:\" Set objShell = CreateObject( "Shell.Application" ) Set objSource = objShell.NameSpace(strZipFile).Items() Set objTarget = objShell.NameSpace(outFolder) intOptions = 256 objTarget.CopyHere objSource, intOptions The problem is that every now and then it gives me the error "The files exists" and it doesnt work anymore. I need to change the strZipFile = "c:\128.zip" for example to strZipFile = "c:\129.zip" and it starts working again. Does anybody know why?

PsaltyDS Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sounds like the files already exist at the target. And this is not an AutoIt question... Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Juvigy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yes , but the files dont exist. I have triple checked that. I also have converted this in Autoit and it has the same behavior. I suspect that the files are first extracted to a temp location and then copied to the target location. I use the script several times a day , every day and have to update the file names 1 or 2 times per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikron48 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Why not just use the 7zip standalone and a batch file? Edited November 10, 2009 by omikron48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I just found a solution. I noticed that my "\local settings\temp" directory is 20gb. Inside for every 128.zip file that i extracted there was a copy folder with the contents. That is why it stops working - too many directories with the same name in the folder. After "rd temp /s /q" my extract function works great again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It handles that automatically.How do I know? You'll see when you find it ♡♡♡ . eMyvnE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 10x. If only you had a look at this earlier (or i searched more extensively) I just finished doing on my own what you have already done (add error checking and temp files cleaning).
