Exe file run from Cd-rom fails in win98

[jgn]

Help!<br>I have made a VB program that I intend to use for installing some Access files on a user's hard drive. All it does is creating some directories, then copies files from the source directory (the one the exe is in) to them.<br><br>Now, the program works fine on both WinNT and Win98 when run from a hard drive.<br>When run from a CD-rom, it still works on NT, but on Windows 98, it just creates the directories, then fails to copy the files from CD to hard drive...<br><br>Any idea where this might come from?<br><br>Thanks for your help!

what code are you using for the copying(if its like a few lines)?<br><br>are you using the FileSystemObject object, or a shell() procedure, or etc? <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Well, all it uses is the curdir() function detect the source directory, and then filecopy()...

It seems nothing wrong with your code. Try it on some other workstation with Windows 98.

I did. Same problem. And again, it works fine from hard drive to hard drive.

you wouldnt by any chance acidently be using a replacement, or move, check to see if its grabing from the right path, and also check to see if some of the commands may have a problem with Read-Only. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
