Copying file to %APPDATA% not working

[lovelyboy9870]

Hi all,

I have been trying to copy a file from %wpipath% to current users %appdata% using winrar sfx. But the file does not seems to copy to "Application Data" folder. Instead it creates a folder names %APPDATA% in program files. Can any help me what am I doing wrong.

"Sorry for the addition guys. The file is being copied perfectly fine on my local machine but its not working while installing with WPI on a Vmware."

Thanks.

So far I have tried the following methods:

1. I tried to copy the file by making a winrar sfx and extracting it to %APPDATA%. (Doesn't seem to work. It creates folder named %APPDATA%/myfile in program files)

2. I tried to copy the file with {filecopy} or xcopy which also doesn't seem to work for me (It just copies myfile to %systemdrive%/myfile instead of copying it to %APPDATA%/myfile)

If you need any further information about error or specific error message let me know.
