Can anyone please help to provide a script to search for a file in some folders and then copy to other folder.
For example ..search for winword.exe in below mentioned folder...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office
C:\ Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11
C: Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
And once winword.exe is found ..copy it to below folder:
C: Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
Many Thanks,
DJ

Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
prgFile = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%PROGRAMFILES%")
CtxFile=prgFile & "\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe"
CtxFile1=prgFile & "\Microsoft Office\Office11\winword.exe"
CtxFile2=prgFile & "\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe"
DestinationFileLocation=prgFile & "\Microsoft Office\Office14\"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(ctxFile) And objFSO.FileExists(ctxFile1) And objFSO.FileExists(ctxFile2) Then
objFSO.CopyFile ctxFile,DestinationFileLocation
OverwriteExisting
objFSO.CopyFile ctxFile1,DestinationFileLocation
OverwriteExisting
objFSO.CopyFile ctxFile2,DestinationFileLocation
OverwriteExisting
End If
Set objFSO = nothing
play around with this ,I have not tested this in any shape or form
really basic but this can give you some clues

Fair dos...it might not be part of an install? But then, wouldn't the poster have used the 'Scripting' forum?

It's not so much that you want it for free but that you seem incapable of using a search engine. There must be a quadzillion example scripts showing how to recursively search a folder for a file.

c'mon now vb you can't expect supermember djain3 to use a search engine
and, I'm sure that there must be a legitimate reason for using vbscript instead of the standard windows installer tables! [:D]
