Did you have problems with "put URL into URL"?

I didn't try using 'put URL' as I might be copying folders. I just modified the rev handlers to use robocopy on Vista and put them into my own libraries. I imagine put URL would not break though as it uses the system calls (internet libraries I believe).

Good question. Does it really do that for files not being transferred via HTTP/FTP?

I've had a mysterious bug with a product we develop in which installing from a local machine to a shared network volume often results in the application not being able to find its accompanying files when run on the client from that server.

The installer is a custom one we built with Rev, using "open file...","write...", and "close file..." to copy files from a CD to the volume. We check for errors when we open the target file for write, and never have an error reported during install. It's only after an apparently-successful install that we learn that something went wrong.

The workaround for the subset of affected systems is to install locally and then copy to the server. In that case it works well, but since the files are all the same it's been mystifying to try to find out what's failing.

More mysterious is that in the two cases we've found this issue both the client and the server were running XP, not Vista.

Got any insight as to why that could be failing?
