I want to copy a file here. is this well written in autoit.
FileCopy($sfldr1 & "\license.dat", "C:\Users\Documents\VirtualDJ\", 1) get an error message. It should go to documents\VirtualDJ\ which is or am I doing it wrong.

Hi @avatar56,

I guess your target folder is incorrect. You need to add your specific user "C:\Users\UserAccountName\Documents\VirtualDJ\". Maybe that's all 🤞 .
Please try again with a user account or use this macro:

Local Const $sTargetFolder = 'C:' & @HomePath & '\Documents\VirtualDJ\'

Best regards

Where do I put this in the macro you suggested to me?
\license.dat

Replace your line 68 (which miss one double quote sign):

FileCopy($sfldr1 & "\license.dat", "C:\ & @MyDocumentsDir & "\Documents\VirtualDJ\", 1)

with this:

Local Const $sTargetFolder = @MyDocumentsDir & '\VirtualDJ\'

FileCopy($sfldr1 & '\license.dat', $sTargetFolder, 1)

💡 Notice: Now the macro @MyDocumentsDir is in use (better one 👍).

Best regards

BTW: Please add meaningful titles to your threads. "a question" doesn't tell us much. You will get more replies when users see in the title what your problem is.

Try like this to see where you are going:

ConsoleWrite("@WorkingDir " & @WorkingDir & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("c: @ScriptDir SomeFolder\SubFolder " & "c:" & @ScriptDir & "SomeFolder\SubFolder" & @CRLF)
