There are other parts of the script (not shown) that create and copy folder contents using the same source and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16071679/permission-denied-on-copyfile-in-vbs destination directories, and they work perfectly. It's only when I use CopyFile that it fails. dim fso set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") if not fso.FileExists("H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\options.txt") then fso.CopyFile "C:\Minecraft\options.txt", "H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\" end if set fso = nothing H: is a network home directory, to which the current user has full read/write privs. I've tried adding/removing trailing slashes from the paths, adding "options.txt" to the destination path, removing the false argument... Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts? Thanks! FYI, this chunk of code, which comes immediately before the error-prone bit above, executes perfectly every time: if not fso.FolderExists("H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\bin\") then if not fso.FolderExists("H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\") then fso.CreateFolder("H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\") end if fso.GetFolder("C:\Minecraft\bin\").Copy "H:\Minecraft\.minecraft\" end if vbscript permission-denied copyfile share|improve this question edited Apr 18 '13 at 16:36 asked Apr 17 '13 at 22:56 Triz 3022619 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 39 down vote accepted I've only seen CopyFile fail with a permission denied error in one of these 3 scenarios: An actual permission problem with either source or destination. Destination path is a folder, but does not have a trailing backslash. Source file is locked by an application

I'm trying to figure out why. It looks like the CopyFolder method of the FileSystemObject permission denied 800a0046 isn't copying over all the files it needs to. Even if the target directory does not exist, the copy will fail after copying most of the files with "Permission Denied". The code is roughly the following: try { stat.CopyFolder("C:\myinstalldir\SimulationModule", "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\\VCWizards\\CodeWiz\\Generic\\", true); } catch (e) { WScript.Echo ("CodeWiz Folder copy failed: " + e.message); } What I'm seeing (again, even if the destination directory doesn't exist), is that all 12 folders get copied over, but only 25 of the 31 files (missing all 5 from one directory, and one from the root directory). The message I see if I run the script manually is: "CodeWiz Folder copy failed: Permission denied" None of the source files appear to be read-only or hidden, and the same folder copy works just fine if I do it manually via explorer. I'm running as a user in the Admin group. I'm seeing this behavior both on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. Any idea what's going on here? windows-7 file-management javascript share|improve this question asked Aug 28 '13 at 13:54 T.E.D. 1566 are you running your script with

However, I'm trying to write a routine that will backup one of my database servers and then email me, so far I haev most of it working, but I want to be able to write any errors it gets to a logfile. However, i don't know what the error codes for the copyfile method are. Nor can I seem to find them on the net. I want do something silly like this: fs.CopyFile strSrc1, strDst1, True if err.number <> 0 Then logf.write "Error encountered, the error is...... (Andthen insert what went wrong) Pardon my newness, I'm sure this is a pretty easy thing for some of you gurus :) Thanks in advance!! #1 ebgreen Total Posts : 9274 Scores: 172 Reward points : 0 Joined: 7/12/2005 Status: offline RE: Filesystem object copyfile method error codes Tuesday, March 14, 2006 5:28 AM (permalink) 0 You typically don't need to know what the error codes are. The Err object includes a .Description property that is usually descriptive enough. I do what you are trying something like this: If Err.Number <> 0 Then logf.write "Error encountered while doing FOO - (" & Err.Number & ") - " & Err.Description End If Stop the Help Vampires:http://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/ VB is NOTVB.Net which is NOTVBA which is NOTVBScript #2 mcgyver74 Total Posts : 6 Scores: 0 Reward points : 0 Joined: 3/14/2006 Status: offline RE: Filesystem object copyfile method error codes Tuesday, March 14, 2006 6:30 AM (permalink) 0 Thanks dude, that's exactly waht I am looking for!!!! #3 mcgyver74 Total Posts : 6 Scores: 0 Reward points : 0 Joined: 3/14/2006 Status: offline RE: Filesystem object copyfile method error codes Wednesday, March 15, 2006 3:28 AM (permalink) 0 That's working great. But I do have one more quick Q. is the err.description valid for programs called with a shell.run command? For example I have the following code strCopyStatus0 = objShell.Run ("xcopy " & strDrive & "\a2000 /s /d /y " & strA2KBkupLoc & "a2000" , 1, TRUE) If strCopyStatus0 <> "0"
