SetupQueueDefaultCopyA function (setupapi.h)
[This function is available for use in the operating systems indicated in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. SetupAPI should no longer be used for installing applications. Instead, use the Windows Installer for developing application installers. SetupAPI continues to be used for installing device drivers.]
The SetupQueueDefaultCopy function adds a single file to a setup file queue for copying, using the default source media and destination as specified in an INF file.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupQueueDefaultCopyA(
[in] HSPFILEQ QueueHandle,
[in] HINF InfHandle,
[in] PCSTR SourceRootPath,
[in] PCSTR SourceFilename,
[in] PCSTR TargetFilename,
[in] DWORD CopyStyle
);
Parameters
[in] QueueHandle
Handle to a setup file queue, as returned by SetupOpenFileQueue.
[in] InfHandle
Handle to an open INF file that contains the SourceDisksFiles and SourceDisksNames sections. If platform-specific sections exist for the user's system (for example, SourceDisksNames.x86 and SourceDisksFiles.x86), the platform-specific section will be used.
[in] SourceRootPath
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the root directory of the source for this copy such as A:.
[in] SourceFilename
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the file name of the file to be copied.
[in] TargetFilename
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the file name of the target file.
[in] 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.
SP_COPY_NEWER_OR_SAME
Examine each file being copied to see if its version resources indicate that it is either equal in 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 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:\x86\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, no language or version information can be checked.
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 time stamps 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 value
If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero 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.
The default destination used by this function is specified by the DefaultDestDir key in the DestinationDirs section of an INF file.
This function requires a Windows INF file. Some older INF file formats may not be supported.
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupQueueDefaultCopy as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
