Platform SDK: Installing Applications/Setup

SetupQueueCopy

The SetupQueueCopy function adds a single file copy operation to a setup file queue.

BOOL SetupQueueCopy(
  HSPFILEQ QueueHandle,      // handle to the file queue
  PCTSTR SourceRootPath,     // path to the source file
  PCTSTR SourcePath,         // optional, additional path info
  PCTSTR SourceFileName,     // name of file to copy
  PCTSTR SourceDescription,  // optional, source description
  PCTSTR SourceTagFile,      // optional, source media tag file
  PCTSTR TargetDirectory,    // directory to copy file to
  PCTSTR TargetFileName,     // optional, name for copied file
  DWORD CopyStyle            // specifies copy behavior
);

Parameters

QueueHandle

Supplies a handle to a setup file queue, as returned by SetupOpenFileQueue.

SourceRootPath

Supplies the root of the source for this copy, such as A:\.

SourcePath

This optional parameter supplies the path relative to SourceRootPath where the file can be found.

SourceFileName

Supplies the filename part of the file to be copied.

SourceDescription

This optional parameter supplies a description of the source media to be used during disk prompts.

SourceTagFile

This optional parameter supplies a tag file whose presence at SourceRootPath indicates the presence of the source media. If not specified, the file itself will be used as the tag file if required.

TargetDirectory

Supplies the directory where the file is to be copied.

TargetFileName

This optional parameter supplies the name of the target file. If not specified, the target file will have the same name as the source file.

CopyStyle

Flags that control the behavior of the file copy operation. These flags may be a combination of the following values:

SP_COPY_DELETESOURCE

Delete the source file upon successful copy. The caller is not notified if the delete fails.

SP_COPY_REPLACEONLY

Copy the file only if doing so would overwrite a file at the destination path. The caller is not notified.

SP_COPY_NEWER_OR SAME

Examine each file being copied to see if its version resources indicate that it is either the same version or not newer than an existing copy on the target.

The file version information used during version checks is that specified in the dwFileVersionMS and dwFileVersionLS members of a VS_FIXEDFILEINFO structure, as filled in by the Win32 version functions. If one of the files does not have version resources, or if they have identical version information, the source file is considered newer.

If the source file is not equal in version or newer, and CopyMsgHandler is specified, the caller is notified and may cancel the copy. If CopyMsgHandler is not specified, the file is not copied.

SP_COPY_NEWER_ONLY

Examine each file being copied to see if its version resources indicate that it is not newer than an existing copy on the target. If the source file is newer but not equal in version to the existing target, the file is copied.

SP_COPY_NOOVERWRITE

Check whether the target file exists, and, if so, notify the caller who may veto the copy. If CopyMsgHandler is not specified, the file is not overwritten.

SP_COPY_NODECOMP

Do not decompress the file. When this flag is set, the target file is not given the uncompressed form of the source name (if appropriate). For example, copying f:\mips\cmd.ex_ to \\install\temp results in a target file of \\install\temp\cmd.ex_. If the SP_COPY_NODECOMP flag was not specified, the file would be decompressed and the target would be called \\install\temp\cmd.exe. The filename part of DestinationName, if specified, is stripped and replaced with the filename of the source file. When SP_COPY_NODECOMP is specified, SP_COPY_LANGUAGEAWARE and SP_COPY_NEWER are ignored.

SP_COPY_LANGUAGEAWARE

Examine each file being copied to see if its language differs from the language of any existing file already on the target. If so, and CopyMsgHandler is specified, the caller is notified and may cancel the copy. If CopyMsgHandler is not specified, the file is not copied.

SP_COPY_SOURCE_ABSOLUTE

SourceFile is a full source path. Do not look it up in the SourceDisksNames section of the INF file.

SP_COPY_SOURCEPATH_ABSOLUTE

SourcePathRoot is the full path part of the source file. Ignore the relative source specified in the SourceDisksNames section of the INF file for the source media where the file is located. This flag is ignored if SP_COPY_SOURCE_ABSOLUTE is specified.

SP_COPY_FORCE_IN_USE

If the target exists, behave as if it is in use and queue the file for copying on the next system reboot.

SP_COPY_IN_USE_NEEDS_REBOOT

If the file was in use during the copy operation, alert the user that the system needs to be rebooted.

SP_COPY_NOSKIP

Do not give the user the option to skip a file.

SP_COPY_FORCE_NOOVERWRITE

Check whether the target file exists, and, if so, the file is not overwritten. The caller is not notified.

SP_COPY_FORCE_NEWER

Examine each file being copied to see if its version resources (or timestamps for non-image files) indicate that it is not newer than an existing copy on the target. If the file being copied is not newer, the file is not copied. The caller is not notified.

SP_COPY_WARNIFSKIP

If the user tries to skip a file, warn them that skipping a file may affect the installation. (Used for system-critical files.)

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is a non-zero value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If a UNC directory is specified as the target directory of a file copy operation, you must ensure it exists before the queue is committed. The setup functions do not check for the existence of and do not create UNC directories. If the target UNC directory does not exist, the file copy will fail.
