Thanks Ed,

I ruled out the Windows Scripting Host for now, because this app should be installed in various locations by the final users themselves and I can't be sure they have the scripting host on their machines. I will try the xCopy and also look at the Win32 API CopyFile() command you posted.

Thanks.
