VBScript issue.
Hi,
Here's what I need to do, I need to move a folder from the local machine to a folder in a home drive, which may or may not exist depending on the user I deploy it to. The requirement is to move the folder from INSTALLDIR which is local to the machine to a folder on a O:\Drive which is the users homedrive. It's got to be the fixed drive letter as this is the way our system is designed here.
Below is my sample script, It doesn't work because I get a "Permission denied" error, Line 4, Char 4. I have rights to my homedrive obviously and can carry out this task by way of a manual move.
Why does I get this error if I try and move it via a VBScript? Anybody got any ideas?
Sample Script
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FolderExists("c:\program files\factset\user data") Then
filesys.MoveFolder "c:\program files\factset\user data", "o:\config\factset\user data"
End If

I don't think MoveFolder supports moves between different volumes.
Have a look here
and I quote:
Important This method allows moving folders between volumes only if supported by the operating system.

Ah ok, thanks for the link, I didn't pick up on that. Do you know a way of moving folder to a network location?

maybe CopyFolder + DeleteFolder, might have the same problem though

Two things to be considered while executing these kind of scripts using the deployment tools
- The command executing the vbscript should be in user context otherwise the script(by default) executes with deployment tool/system context
so the user drives cannot be identified
-The users group should have access rights to move the folder, as the folder is in installdir so you can give full permissions only to that particular folder which is required to move.
also you can use the method DRIVEEXISTS() in your scirpt, to include more error handling
