[DUG] Copying files problem

Title: Message

I copy program files using a line like:

copyfile(Pchar(File1),Pchar(File2),false);

Sometimes this fails for no obvious reason (File2 is not in use for instance), and if I open Windows explorer and copy from there it usually works, if not if I delete the destination file and then paste works fine. To my mind this proves it is not a problem with permissions to write into this folder...

File1 is on the server, File2 is local on C drive.

any ideas?

Background:

This is a neat way of updating programs - updated exe files are loaded into a central update folder (which is not used except for copying from), and the startup program copies any updated programs into the local C drive working folder before any programs are in use. Works wonderfully except on one site......I wonder the problem is from not being administrator or something in the PC setup being locked down....(although I don't know why as Windows Explorer works)

HI Jeremy,
If you are incorporating this into an app, may I suggest you dynamically instantiate the component each time you make an http call. I found this made for greater reliability.
