| | DLL Copy / Permission Issue Sorry to bring this back to the table, but I hope you would consider that it is a fairly fundamental problem and I need to understand (a) what I'm doing wrong, if anything, and (b) how it can be resolved. The problem is basically that I am being denied permission to copy a DLL or EXE from a network share to a local directory. Here's what is and what isn't, and what works and what doesn't: * The source directory is on a network share in the same workgroup (not domain). I can copy a plain text file from this directory with no problems; I just can't copy DLLs or EXEs from it. * The credentials I log in to the local machine with are the same credentials required for the network share. * The local directory is a subdirectory below C:. It was automatically created when I first attempted to copy a whole directory from the network share (I see a potential for it to have been created only with the prevailing permissions, which might not have been elevated at the time... but read on...). * I can copy a DLL from the local machine's Windows\System32 directory to this local subdirectory with no problems - this implies that the target directory isn't the problem per se. As mentioned above, I could also copy a plain text file from the network share to the local subdirectory without problems, which implies that access to the network share isn't a problem per se either. * I have tried both with UAC on and UAC off (using the standard MS way of switching it 'off'). The biggest problem really is that the permission denied message that comes up gives me no way to get that permission - no elevation prompt, and no link to some information telling me how to go about getting the permission. So my question is, can anyone help me figure out why I can't clear this last hurdle? A machine isn't much use if you can't copy files to it when you need to {:v) -- Jason Teagle jason@teagster.co.uk |

| | Re: DLL Copy / Permission Issue Hello, Have you tried disabling any antivirus/security products on both the client and the server? I made a simple program that will attempt to copy the file using a few different methods, including the way explorer does it, and spit out a bunch of diagnostic information. If you could run the program and post the results, it may help track down this issue. http://www.jimmah.com/vista/downloads/copytest.zip - JB |
