#199685 - 2010-08-28 02:16 AM Copy Command Fails on WIndows 7 ???
0xG 0xG Just in Town Registered: 2010-08-28 Posts: 4 Loc: Albania	I can't believe that I am posting this, but I am desperate. This SHOULD work, but craps out part way through... Code: $DAYNUMB=@YDAYNO MOD 10 $APPDATA = "C:\Users\mylogon\AppData\" $TARGETapp = "H:\Backup\Users\mylogon\" + $DAYNUMB + "\AppData\" MD $TARGETapp ? "Copying " + $APPDATA ? " to " + $TARGETapp Copy "$APPDATA" "$TARGETapp" /h /s /r /c ? "Error? " + @ERROR The console result is Copying C:\Users\mylogon\AppData\ to H:\Backup\Users\mylopgon\9\AppData\ Error? 0 Yet the target gets as far as creating: H:\Backup\Users\mylogon\9\AppData Then it ends. All folders are empty. There should be about 900 files (!); that how many are on the source. It seems like some kind of incompatibility with Windows 7 WTF ??? I am using latest version of KiXtart. Thanks in advance...

AppData itself isn't a redirected folder, but it does contain redirected folders, which can't be accessed. I rewrote this with the DirListUDF and it works fine because DirList enumerates the files and copies them one at a time. In my test, 5505 files were copied and 7 were skipped due to access restrictions or "file in use/locked" conditions. I test this on Windows 7 (x64) without any issue. You'll need to download the DirList UDF from the UDF section here and change the Call statement to reference the path on your system (or eliminate the Call and embed the UDF in your script directly. Glenn[code]$ = SetOption('WrapAtEOL', 'On') $User = @USERID $DAYNUMB=@YDAYNO MOD 10 $APPDATA = 'C:\Users\gbarnas\AppData\' $TARGETapp = 'H:\Backup\Users\' + $User + '\' + $DAYNUMB + '\AppData\' 'Creating ' $TargetApp ' folder' ? MD $TARGETapp 'Copying ' + $APPDATA ? ' to ' + $TARGETapp ? ; get array of files $aDir = DirList($AppData, 5) @SERROR ? UBound($aDir) + 1 ' files to process' ? Sleep 2 For Each $Dir in $aDir $Dir ? Copy $AppData + $Dir $TargetApp /h /r /c If @ERROR ' ' @ERROR ' / ' @SERROR ? ' ##########' ? $Err = $Err + 1 Sleep 2 EndIF Next $Err ' errors occurred' ? UBound($aDir) + 1 - $Err ' files processed successfully' ?[code] _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

0xG 0xG Just in Town Registered: 2010-08-28 Posts: 4 Loc: Albania	Thanks Lonkero, Glenn... (Yes, "mylogon" is the current user) Windows 7 linked folders are a real dog's breakfast. What was MS thinking: "We are to lazy to fix our own code, so we added the links. But we don't want YOU, the user, to take advantage of them..." So, IMO, KiXtart really is "broken" ... glad to know it wasn't just me. (Any idea if we will see a fixed update?) I will search around for your DirList, or build my own. Thanks again for your help.
