help copying files by xcopy

[tum0r]

all BAD words deleted

I'm having issues running xcopy cmds. it works when i copy files or folders to Program Files, but not when i copy to Desktop. I'm getting a success msg, but no files are copied to the desktop. heres an example:

CODE

prog[pn]=['mlln];

uid[pn]=['MLLN'];

dflt[pn]=['no'];

cat[pn]=['Other'];

forc[pn]=['yes'];

cmd1[pn]=['xcopy "%CDROM%\\Install\\mlln" "C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Desktop\\" /i'];

pn++;

(mlln is just a folder name.,..)

any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Kel, i tried your suggestion, it didnt work either, i prolly did something wrong...

Ok I will try this out tonight when I am home and see why it won't copy to the desktop...

[tum0r]

thanks kel,

yeah, its weird, works perfectly to copy to c:/program files, but not to docs and settings. i tried copy, and filecopy, and the /I and /i switches. i'm hoping its just a syntax thing...

prog[pn]=['Copy Files'];
uid[pn]=['COPYFILES'];
dflt[pn]=['yes'];
cat[pn]=['Utilities'];
forc[pn]=['no'];
cmd1[pn]=['xcopy "%wpipath%Installfiles" "%allusersprofile%Desktop"'];
pn++;

Works fine WPI has the XCOPY switches added internally.

p.s. i know your the guy from wincert

thanks kel, i'll give that a shot. and i know, and i'm not trying to hide....

[tum0r]

i dont know why, but that isnt working either. still getting a sucessfull install message, but no folders copied...

[Kelsenellenelvian]

HUH now thats weird cause i get everything inside the Copy folder copied onto the desktop...

[tum0r]

yeah, i dont get it, gonna try on a virgin install

[tum0r]

still totally stumped. does work to program files. says sucessful to desktop, but nothing is copied. dont have time to install another vm tonite, so i guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

[tum0r]

k....got it to install a file to the desktop, but still not the folder. but i did get the sfx to work, so i guess my prob is solved. thanks for your help kel!
