Windows 7?? Windows XP?
Hi, I was working on a project based on Windows XP.
It copied centain files including system files, registery and so on from A PC.
And then it copied those files into B PC.
( I need more than 2 PCs in order to check whether it works or not)
In fact, it perfectly works on Windows XP.
However, on Windows 7, it doesn't work.
As I found, windows 7 has virtual store, registry or something
different from windows xp to protect from virus, right?
I guess, I coudln't access regitry and system files..
Im not sure what is problem.
Anyone can explain what is the difference between Window XP and 7?
Also, Is there a way to access all files??
(Actually, I found how to access all files, which the program is run as Service program. I didn't try it yet.)
I am going to pull all my hair out!! help me!!
Thanks in advance.

OP:
Study User Account Control. Basically Windows 7 disallows the end user to write on most of the hard disk except for the user profile, which is the correct behavior anyway. What system files are you trying to write???

If you move installed files out of their original location, most likely the installed applications will not work. What is the purpose of this?
Unless you run your program as an Administrator (or in general, with administrative rights), you won't be able to write to the "project folder", which I assume is a subfolder of C:\Program files.
Also note that by copying specific binary files and transmitting those files to another PC you will most likely be in violation of copyright laws.

Like I said in my first response: User Account Control. Your program needs to run with elevated privileges.
And I am not worried about YOUR patent or YOUR copyright. I worry about the copyright infringement of the OTHER software you seem to be copying, like MS Office, etc.
