xcopy not accepting a relative path as source parameter on certain computers
- by slicedtoad
xcopy /e /q ".\dlls\*.*" "%programfiles(x86)%\foo" >> TEMP
xcopy /e /q dlls "%programfiles(x86)%\foo" >> TEMP
xcopy /e /q ".\dlls" "%programfiles(x86)%\foo" >> TEMP
All of the above work on two of my machines (windows 7 64bit).
But on two peers' laptops (windows 7 64 bit and windows 8 64bit) they return
file dlls not found
or (in the case of the first one)
file *.* not found
Can someone shed some light here? The only difference I can see between the machines is possibly permissions. But I don't see how that would affect xcopy's ability to recognize a local path.
