detours CopyFile on Windows 7

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have written code using the Microsoft detours library, but it does not work on windows 7 os.

In my program, I detours functions below:

CopyFile,CopyFileEx,MoveFile,MoveFileEx,DeleteFile,CreateDirectory,CreateDirectoryEx,SHFileOperation

On my windows xp, all the detours functions work fine, but on windows 7 only the 'MoveFileEx' works fine, others not.

Why ?
Help, please.

You need to look at your code and check the results of the function calls to see why they are failing. It could be any number of problems but it's impossible to guess.

It's impossible to know without using GetLastError[^] to find out what went wrong, but a likely cause would be a UAC problem.

Running the program with administrator rights could solve things in this case.

I have considered the UAC problem,so I have already closed the UAC.
If it is the UAC problem ,the MoveFileEx should not work fine.

The problem is not these functions but access rights issue in Windows 7. Do one thing try to execute application run as admin. Try to compile your application with requireAdministrator.
