Problem in .exe copy

[CPallini]

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?

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.

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. :)
