I can't copy files to C:\Program Files through GPP

I need to copy several files to C:\Program Files (WinXP) through GPP but it does not work. When I try to copy to C:\ (root) it works fine. I have applied Win2k8 compatibility update with same results.

Any help?

Solution

  • You should try double quotes around the path since program files has a space

    "C:\Program Files\path\"

    Alternatively you can try %programfiles%

    On a 64-bit machine running in 64-bit mode:

    %programfiles% ==> C:\Program Files

    %programfiles(x86)% ==> C:\Program Files (x86)

    On a 64-bit machine running in 32-bit (WOW64) mode:

    %programfiles% ==> C:\Program Files (x86)

    %programfiles(x86)% ==> C:\Program Files (x86)
