murraymint Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hello folks,I am working on a really simple script that copies some files from one place on our network to another place on the users machine, here is the script,DirCopy("teeis10distsoftware$PublicOA SoftwareCisco VPNvpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0410-k9", "C:Program FilesLANDeskLDClientsdmcachesoftware$PublicOA SoftwareCisco VPNvpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0410-k9")Now my problem is that it just does not work, however if I remove the white space in between the "Program Files" in the destination it copies the files over even though there are other white spaces in the destination path.I have also tried using the @ProgramFilesDir with the same results that the files are not copied.Can anyone help me, I’m losing the will to live with this really simple task.Murray Edited March 12, 2012 by murraymint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Are you sure the folder is named "software$" and not "software"?

murraymint Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi brewman, yes the software$ is correct. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You can try it this way DirCopy("teeis10distsoftware$PublicOA SoftwareCisco VPNvpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0410-k9", '"C:Program FilesLANDeskLDClientsdmcachesoftware$PublicOA SoftwareCisco VPNvpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0410-k9"') This puts the destination folder inside quotes so that it won't break up the path name.

murraymint Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 So I have fopund the problem. What I did not mention at first is that I am working on a Win 7 system,am an administrator on this system. If I right click and run the Autoit editor as an Admiistrator the script runs just fine, so ther you have it if you are creating scripts that copy files into protected areas on the machine run the editor as an admin. Thanks for your help Brewman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
