Problem in .exe copy

CPallini

What about my second question (i.e. did you check CopyFile return value? Did you call GetLastError on failure?)? :)

Actually GetLastError returns a number. Please post the code wherein the error occurs and report the error exactly as it stands. :)

You should call this after

vcprog wrote:

CopyFile(FileName, cs,TRUE);

And then check error code why Copy fails?? Is it right?

// CopyFile(st, cs,TRUE); DWORD dwError = GetLastError(); CopyFile(FileName, cs,TRUE); AfxMessageBox(dwError);

Please replace the above sequence with the following

if ( CopyFile(FileName, cs, TRUE) != TRUE)
{
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();
CString szMsg;
szMsg.Format("Error number %d", dwError);
AfxMessageBox(szMsg);
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("Success");
}

and post the output.

Aye, aye, aye! As stated above, GetLastError returns an integer. You then need to use this integer IN CONJUNCTION WITH FormatMessage to get a printable text string. If you have a look here, you can see an example of use for the two functions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680582(VS.85).aspx[^] We will "please help", so long as you will "please read".....

haha~ The error number is exactly the same as that we have expected. Click Tools >> error Lookup,enter the error number, then you may have the answer.

thx's for reply.. Error is

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Plz help me

from WinError.h

//
// MessageId: ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND
//
// MessageText:
//
// The system cannot find the path specified.
//
#define ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND 3L

and

//
// MessageId: ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
//
// MessageText:
//
// The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
//
#define ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION 32L

I think they're quite explanatory. :)
