Good Morning,

I was hoping to get some help with part of a script I am writing where you have an option to copy a file from a network share to the local C: drive. I have not found the solution, thus asking in the forums for some help, please. I have tried @HomeDrive, which, because I am part of a domain, shows the mapped drive letter not C:. I have tried @SystemDir but that takes me into the Windows folder. I have also tried mapped a drive letter to mycomputernameC$, all with no success. I can copy a file from the network share to a folder on C: but I would like to copy it to just C:.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Grimm

Thanks

Grimm

What OS are you using? Because on Vista+ you have to be an admin to do it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Then post your script.

I tried that script, with changes made to fit my system, and it worked fine for me. I added some debugging message boxes to see if things worked, and I got the correct results.

#include <file.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#RequireAdmin

If DriveMapGet("Z:") Then
Else
;~  DriveMapAdd("Z:", "\\192.168.26.17\IT Installers")
    MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @CRLF & 'DriveMapAdd("Z:", "\\192.168.26.17\IT Installers")' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Return:' & @CRLF & DriveMapAdd("Z:", "\\192.168.26.17\IT Installers")) ;### Debug MSGBOX
EndIf

;~ FileCopy("Z:\PsTools\PsExec.exe", "C:\")

MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @CRLF & 'FileCopy("Z:\PsTools\PsExec.exe", "C:\")' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Return:' & @CRLF & FileCopy("Z:\PsTools\PsExec.exe", "C:\") ;### Debug MSGBOX
DriveMapDel("z:")

Just because I am more curious than anything, I know you cannot use an If statement with #RequireAdmin. Is there something else that would allow the same function of #RequireAdmin only within an IF or Button action. I did some Google searches and could only find some old posts and the solutions were quite lengthy.

Thanks for your help BrewManNH, you sure know your stuff  :)

Thanks

Grimm

You can use "If IsAdmin()" to see if the user has admin rights, and if not start a new script that has #RequireAdmin in it. You can use if statements with FileInstall commands so you can have it only FileInstall the second script if the IsAdmin fails.

Look in the help file for FileInstall and the hundreds of examples you'll find on the forum.
