if i'm trying to copy a file from a folder in the same directory, how would i do that? for examples, i'm trying to copy the file inside files\test.exe into the same directory as the file that was executed.

//1. API

BOOL CopyFile(
  LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName, // name of an existing file
  LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,      // name of new file
  BOOL bFailIfExists          // operation if file exists
);

BOOL bCopy = ::CopyFile("C:\\temp\\test.exe", "C:\\temp2\\text.exe");

//2. C++.NET managed code:

#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
String* srcpathfile = S"c:\\temp\\Test.exe";
String* dstfilepath = S"D:\\temp\\test.exe";

File::Copy(srcpathfile, dstfilepath); // overriding dst is not allowed 
File::Copy(srcpathfile, dstfilepath, true); // overriding dst is allowed
