Hi,
My simple code is as :
CopyFile(_T("\\MyFolder\\temp.txt"),_T("\\Windows"), FALSE));
CopyFile(_T("\\MyFolder\\ceramdrv.exe"),_T("\\Windows"));
and DLL also...
All 3 are throwing a GetLastError() of "ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED" and when use
MoveFile(), throwing "ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS" though the files are not in
windows.
If OS is protecting direct acceesing of windows files (according to some
blogs its ROM), If these 2 API are not able to copy then:

1. How I am able to copy manually?
2. How my cab file is installing files in windows

any help plz .????

Many of the files in the \Windows folder are in ROM and aren't actually
"files" per se. Those files cannot be copied. It's likely that whatever
you're trying to do by copying them probably won't work either - for
example
you can't copy something like cellcore.dll to another device and have it
magically become a phone device.

Hi,
In my WM5/WinCE5 devices, I am not able to copy any DLL/EXE file. I am
using
copyfile(), but its giving "Access Denied" error. I used MoveFile()
also,
but
gone in vain. But manually we can copy those files. What is reason I am
not
able to do this? Also How can I do this? Dons OS restricting me to do
this?
But when we create any installer file (.cab file) that can copy the
files
in
\Windows ??
Any help plz ???

Thanks .
