Xcopy broken in Windows 7? What am i doing wrong?

[grunewald6]

I have an app I wrote that copies files or shortcuts to a txt file list of hostnames. It has worked fine from my laptop when it had xp, but now that I have Win7, I get an error during the copy operation and it never copies(narrowed it down by adding some debug code). I use xcopy so I can copy under admin credentials for our workgroup and domain machines. The copy code I use is below. Anyone else seen a similar problem in Win 7 or am I just blinded here? Thanks in advance for any help,

$send = 'xcopy "' & $FileSource & '" "\\' & $hostname & '\' & $Destination & '" /c /i /q /y'
$pid=RunAsWait($admin,  @ComputerName, $adminpw, 0, @ComSpec & " /c " & $send, "", @SW_HIDE)
    If ($pid = 0) Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "Error running copy command")
        Exit
    Endif

The problem might be that the folder you are trying to copy to does not have full permissions. The permissions for a drive do not necessarily mean the folders have those permissions. The effect of this can be that using Windows Explorer to copy files might work and xcopy might not. I haven't got W7 so this is guesswork. Try using the command prompt and type the command by hand to see if there is some useful error message.

Good suggestion, Martin. I had thought along those same lines, too, but tried that before and xcopy from a cmd prompt worked fine. I thought it might me the RunAs command in AutoIT, but even if I log in as an admin on a local machine and try to copy files from those credentials with a RunWait, instead of a RunAsWait, it still errors out. No Win7 users out there?

Have a look at the remarks of RunAsWait() in the helpfile. Note the sentence with working directory in it. See if any suggestions in there helps.
