st4vr0s 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to copy a file to \AppData\Local\Test\1\batches on a windows 7 PC I have used #RequireAdmin FileCopy ("C:SOFTWARE\Tests.batch", "@AppDataDir\Local\Test\1\batches",9) But it doesn't copy the file. If I put the full actual path in it works ok but I wanted to use a variable. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st4vr0s 0 Posted February 6, 2012 If I use FileCopy ("C:SOFTWARETests.batch", @AppDataDir & "LocalTest1batches",9) Nothing copies But if I remove the from the front of Local it places a "RoamingLocal" folder in the AppData directory with my sub directories and .batch file in there too. Where am I going wrong? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jos 2,165 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) @AppDataDir returns the applicationData directory which is:c:usersuseridAppDataRoamingso when you really need to copy to:c:usersuseridAppDataLocalyou could do it this way:FileCopy ("C:SOFTWARETests.batch", @AppDataDir & "..LocalTest1batches",9)orFileCopy ("C:SOFTWARETests.batch", @UserProfileDir & "appdataLocalTest1batches",9) Edited February 6, 2012 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Jos 2,165 Posted February 6, 2012 Windows 7 does not give access to ...AppDataLocal. Are you sure? I can simply go there with my Explorer and this example worked fine for me: FileCopy("C:tempTest.txt", @UserProfileDir & "appdataLocalTesttest.txt", 9) SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

BrewManNH 1,304 Posted February 6, 2012 On my Windows 7 machine, I have an environment variable calle "LOCALAPPDATA" that points to the C:Users<my username>AppDataLocal folder, so maybe use the EnvGet function to get to that location would work if it's the same on other Windows 7 versions, mine is Win7 Enterprise x64. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
