Copy & overwrite file in Vista

[Bipolar_Games]

In my program, I am copying over a file from one location to another. This works just fine, unless another file of that same name exists in the new location. The File Object doesn't seem to be able to overwrite that existing file with the copied file's information. Deleting the file does not work either. Is this a Vista problem? I have tried telling MMF2 to run the program as an Administrator, and I have ran MMF2 as an Admin, but it still does not work.

Any ideas?

I think I am experiencing similar problems with a small number of my users, who claim that setting Admin privileges is also not solving the problem.
For now, running the app and associated files from a subdirectory of 'Downloads' or 'My Documents' seems to alleviate it.
I too would be interested to know more about what is going on here.

It's simple user rights issue, Its something I see every day. You should make it so the application saves to a writable area by the user that's logged in. Usually %userprofile%\application data\Your App/Game

%userprofile%\application data\Your App/Game

Better to use %appdata%\Your App/Game\, in case they've moved their appdata folder.

I've been having some more trouble with the File object tonight. It was refusing to copy a file when I was logged in as admin *and* in a App Data subfolder.

Using the 'Clear last error' action before the copy action seemed to fix this. An earlier action that was failing seems to 'jam' the extension.
