FileCopy Issues


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been having an issue with copying files from the current user's application data directory and then copying this in a temporary directory. The confusing thing is that when I look at my log that i had generated it tells me that the copy was successful. I have had previous issues with the FileCopy and DirCopy functions in the past. any ideas why or how I can copy these files successfully. I included a line from my script to give an idea what i'm trying to achieve. I have to retain the current XML file from the user profile and then copy this in to a temp director, then after the install is complete i have to copy this back to the user profile location and overwrite the file. It seems pretty simple..so that's why I'm not understanding what the holdup is here. Any ideas? Thanks.

$InstallDir = "C:\Admin\AppUpd\Hyperion Smart View for Office "

Why do you use different lines for different OSs? The 2 lines are identical aren't they?

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.

I'm assuming you have tried #RequireAdmin at the top when testing on WIN7?

 

Yes you are correct. also i apologize the code should be for the first line

If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then FileCopy(@AppDataDir & "\Oracle\SmartView\properties.xml", $installDir, $FC_OVERWRITE )
If @OSVersion = "WIN_XP" Then FileCopy(@AppDataDir & "\Oracle\SmartView\properties.xml", $installDir, $FC_OVERWRITE )

Does the destination path exist?

I just modified this to be s simple file copy and this is still not working. I am lost here >_<

#RequireAdmin

#include <FileConstants.au3>

$InstallDir = "C:\Admin\AppUpd\Hyperion Smart View for Office"

DirCreate($InstallDir)

If @OSVersion = "WIN_7" Then FileCopy("C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Oracle\SmartView\properties.xml", $installDir, $FC_OVERWRITE )
If @OSVersion = "WIN_XP" Then FileCopy("C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Oracle\SmartView\properties.xml", $installDir, $FC_OVERWRITE )
