CopyFile

[Pierrou]

Hello
I feel a bit stupid but can't get CopyFile to work
If I have a file named "image.png" in my C:/ folder why doesn't

CopyFile ("C:/image.png","C:/image2.png")

create a new file named image2.png?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Seems I can copy the file to some folders like cerberus:// for example but not C:/, whereas I can create a dir using CreateDir in C:/

CopyFile works just fine. The problem might be that your OS doesn't allow copying the file in the C:/ folder without having admin rights.
Start the app with "Run as admin" and see if it works. I use Copyfile all over the place, but not in the root folder.

Start the app with "Run as admin" and see if it works.

Just tested this on Win10 and it works. Without "Run as admin, it doesn't copy the file.

Thanks Mike quite straightforward indeed!
