CopyFile Error

[Terry R]

I'm having a problem using the CopyFile Product Bean.

I've setup the following options:
Source: $P(absolutInstallLocation)/log.xsl
Target: $W(sysinfopanel.SharedDirName)/logs

I watch the directory as the files are being installed and the log.xsl file is copied to the install root directory. The directory referenced by $W(sysinfopanel.SharedDirName) is already created at the time this bean runs.

Any ideas why there would be a problem here? Thanks.


When installing, I get the following error report:

(Mar 13, 2003 4:22:47 PM), Setup.product.install, com.installshield.product.actions.CopyFile, err, An error occurred and product installation failed. Look at the log file C:\Program Files\KANA\ResponseApplicationServer\KanaResponseInstallLog.txt for details.

In...

$P(absolutInstallLocation)/log.xsl

You are missing an "e" in "absolute".

Also, fyi, source and target can be specified with paths that are relative to the components install location, so you don't need $P(absoluteInstallLocation)

I am going to log a bug about the incorrect error message. The message should have said...

[\log.xsl is *not* an existing file])

Thanks.

Sometimes it just needs another pair of eyes to look at the code.
