Shortcut Pointing To...
Hello folks...
A stumper for you...
So, I need to create two shortcuts for an application I am packaging...One shortcut takes the files from two local directories and places them on the network share folders with the same names...
The other shortcut does the opposite...It takes the contents of the two network directories and places them on the local directories of the same name...
Oh, and the files must not be overwritten...
I am a bit at my wit's end regarding this...Any help and pointing in the right direction would be most appreciated...
Thank you...

Just thinking out loud wouldn´t your shortcuts point to 2 finely tuned scripts that would do the work?

You mean batch scripts?
Edit: I cannot use Wisescripts...The environment I am working in shuns them...It has to be MSI with a VB Script or just MSI with transforms...

No, I meant adding 2 vbs to your application and shortcuts pointing to those.

Wouldn't batch scripts be better?
EDIT: So, you wouldn't happen to have a VB script that copies stuff lying around in your dungeon, would you?

Sorry, no. I usually go hunting/cut & pasting myself when I need a VBS. Maybe someone else here wishes to share their code? Error handling gives me a headache, but you should have it in your script.

You don't need 2 scripts, but one. Build a function, into which you pass the name of the source and destination folders. You rmain code then calls the function with different parameters, depending on the scenario.
To prevent overwrite, use the FolderExists/FileExists methods of the FileSystemObject, er, object!
To get the shell for your script, go to computerperformance.co.uk or Google for 'vbscript copy folder'.

VBScab, thank you so much for your expert insight as always...
However, since I know you are VBophile, could you perhaps share the code with me to make it work? I found a couple, but unfortunately I am looking to transfer 2 local folder files to 2 network folders of the same name and vice versa without overwriting...
Your help would be most welcome and appreciated...
