File Copy not working?

What is wrong with File Copy, it simply fails to work, even with hard coded paths and file names? What is the deal? Using the provided script (Copy/Move Local Files) I end up with this line of script.

Copy Local Files C:\\temp\\Demo1.ppt to C:\\DummyIt fails completely. Both folders are there and spelled correctly but.... No Joy to be had. I looked at the help and according to what it says this should work fine.

I even added the file name like this.

Copy Local Files C:\\temp\\Demo1.ppt to C:\\Dummy\\Demo1.ppt

Still NO JOY

Copy Files does not execute until Apply Install.

Are you checking after the Apply Install command has run?

If you need to copy files immediately use CALL Dll and exute CopyFile from Kernel32.dll.

Thanks jimo, I did manage to work through it. All you have to do is beat your head on the wall long enough. :D
