Copying/replacing a file in the system dir?

[Muammar]

Hi, Ever tried to copy into/replace a file inside System32?? I keep getting invalid path error message when it works just fine elsewhere. Please advise.

I assume you're using Vista or higher. Basically, your application doesn't have permissions to do anything inside protected directories. This is a good thing, and has been implemented like this for a reason.

reason for my vote 5 is: I also think that it is the administrative rights problem...

Happy Coding... :)

make sure that you have administrative rights on the system..

Even if you have admin-rights, this is typically not done, unless you're trying to hide something from the user. The folder contains system-files for Windows, application-level shit should be kept apart.
