dman Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 use XCOPY /I parameter. This tells command to assume that the target is a directory. Use xcopy /? to see all options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 or put a \ at the end of your command example:xcopy %systemdrive%\install %windir%\install = WRONGxcopy "%systemdrive%\Install\" "%windir%\Install\" = CORRECT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Or switch to robocopy from resource kit... I LOVE this utility, give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenOath Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I made an unnattended Windows98 CD installation once & experimentedwith it that many times i'll never forget the extension used at the end ofthe xcopy command.from memory the total line wasxcopy x:\win98 d:win98\cabs /s /e /v /yxcopy -then the directory to xcopy from then the directory to copy to, then sevyat then end = /s /e /v /ywhich copied all files & directories in the win98 folder & varified the filewas a good copy.
