folder move

[skafreak_510]

Ok so after I compile this script it creates the Dir but it doesn't copy the files. Ascripts is a folder and I want it to copy the files inside the folder.

its not working

#NoTrayIcon

AutoItSetOption("RunErrorsFatal", 0)
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
Break(0)
$USERNAME = "Administrator"
$PASSWORD = "*"
$RUN = 0   ; run indicator

; retrieve the cycle from commandline
If $CMDLINE[0] = 1 Then $RUN = $CMDLINE[1]
If $RUN = 0 Then
   RunAsSet($USERNAME, @ComputerName, $PASSWORD)
   Run('"' & @ScriptFullPath & '" " 1"')
   If @error Then MsgBox(4096+32,"Error", "Error starting under admin mode")
   Exit
EndIf

   DirCreate ( "C:\Program Files\Ascripts" )

   FileCopy ( @DesktopDir & "\Ascripts", "C:\Program Files\Ascripts" ,1)

RunAsSet()

any ideas,

thanks

Keep in mind that @DesktopDir wil refer to the Administrator's desktop... is this what you were expecting?

no, should I add this to the begining then?

$desktop = @DesktopDir

and then add the var to where the other @DesktopDir?

According to help

@DesktopDir.... path to current user's Desktop

i don't see the Administrators reference there????

this

$desktop = @DesktopDir

is one-in-the-same

it doesn't matter if you use the variable or the @...

So the script is being run as Admistrator, loading the admin profile. This has been my problem, and the change I made doesn't work.

any ideas?

I changed it to a var because I thought I would be able to get the state of the current user before it ran as admin.

Actully it would be better if I was just able to get the file off of a local server seeing as I have to do it for several comps.

FileCopy ( $local server folder & "\Ascripts.*.*", "C:\Program Files\Ascripts\" ,1)

but I don't know how to get the address for the folder

Shoot me down if I am wrong but should you not be using DirCopy which will create the directory structure if it does not exist.

DirCopy? I'm using DirCreate and FileCopy.

DirCopy? I'm using DirCreate and FileCopy.

The point I am makeing is that if you use DirCopy you do not need to use Dircreate and FileCopy. If you want to keep useing your version should you not be using \Ascripts\*.* to copy the files in the folder.

You could use DriveMapAdd and later use DriveMapDel to remove the mapping.

see the options... read the entire help file

RunAsSet ( ["user", "domain", "password" [, options]] )

Parameters

username [optional] The user name to use.

domain [optional] The domain name to use.

password [optional] The password to use.

options [optional] 0 = do not load the user profile, 1 = (default) load the user profile, 2 = use for net credentials only

FileCopy ( $local server folder & "\Ascripts.*.*", "C:\Program Files\Ascripts\" ,1)

but I don't know how to get the address for the folder

here is a test for you

$output = FileOpen("\\YOUR COMPUTER NAME\c on stelth\temp\test2.txt",1); this worked on mine ....AND ALL MY OTHERS TOO @!@! 8)

filewriteline($output,"This was written successfully by " & @ComputerName)
