Hi,
I'm trying to move a driver into the WINDIR ^ "system32\\drivers" directory.
I've tried XCopyFiles, but it didn't seem to work. I didn't get any error messages so I don't know what was wrong.
So then I tried ComponentSetTarget, but I get an error:
An error occured during the move data process: -145
Component: Drivers
File Group: Drivers
File:
I believe I am following the correct procedure:

| CODE |
function MoveFileData() ... drvPath = WINDIR ^ "system32\\drivers"; ComponentSetTarget(MEDIA, "<drvPath>",drvPath); nResult = ComponentMoveData( MEDIA, nDisk, 0 ); |
and in the Components tab, I set the destination for the "Drivers" component to <drvPath>
any ideas?
thanks,
Michael

First off, where were you trying to manually copy the files from and are there actual files in that Drivers file group?
Regardless though, error -145 means "Target path for the component cannot be found." indicating a problem with ComponentSetTarget call. Unfortunately, it always returns 0 though and I've never used it before.
Now, if I were you, then I would just set the Component directly to "<WINDIR>\<WINSYSDIR>\drivers" and forget the whole <drvPath> thing.

I was trying to copy the driver from the SRCDIR.
But, regardless, your recommended solution worked; thank you. I wasn't aware of the <WINSYSDIR> variable.
This is also a lot easier than using ComponentSetTarget()
