[DUG] Windows 10 file copying on surface 3

[Ian Fear]

More than a few years ago one of our members wrote a utility we Called the
UPGRADER {Steve}

This was used to move new versions of our Exe and associated bpls from  a
server Repository "current Version" to the appropriate folder on the users
pc.

As the Program is seasonal the exe was renamed at the same time.

 

The exe checks its version compared to "currentVersion" one and if different
creates an ini file with the required paths for the upgrader and closes.

The user the executes the upgrader and the new version is copied across to
the appropriate path.

 

This has worked fine for more than 10 years.

But wait Win 10 in all its wisdom has decided to put the exe on the
designated path but all the bpls are

Placed C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
<file:///\\eptb0007\c$\Users\debbie.roberts\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr
am>  Files\programpath

 

Of course as the bulk of the program is in the bpl the uses dont get the
changes and if you remove the old bpls from the destination path windows is
to stupid to know where it has put them

 

We have identified the problem on Surface 3 devices but not yet had time to
check it on all windows 10 PCs

 

Anyone know if there is a way to force the copy to the correct destination??


Or any other thoughts on how to overcome the issue

Currently compiled with Delphi XE2

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards

Ian
