SetupQueueCopyW 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 SetupQueueCopy function adds a single file copy operation to a setup file queue.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupQueueCopyW(
[in] HSPFILEQ QueueHandle,
[in] PCWSTR SourceRootPath,
[in] PCWSTR SourcePath,
[in] PCWSTR SourceFilename,
[in] PCWSTR SourceDescription,
[in] PCWSTR SourceTagfile,
[in] PCWSTR TargetDirectory,
[in] PCWSTR TargetFilename,
[in] DWORD CopyStyle
);
Parameters
[in] QueueHandle
Handle to a setup file queue, as returned by SetupOpenFileQueue.
[in] SourceRootPath
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the root of the source for this copy, such as A:.
[in] SourcePath
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the path relative to SourceRootPath where the file can be found. This parameter may be NULL.
[in] SourceFilename
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the file name part of the file to be copied.
[in] SourceDescription
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a description of the source media to be used during disk prompts. This parameter can be NULL.
[in] SourceTagfile
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a tag file whose presence at SourceRootPath indicates the presence of the source media. This parameter may be NULL. If not specified, the file itself will be used as the tag file if required.
[in] TargetDirectory
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the directory where the file is to be copied.
[in] TargetFilename
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the target file. This parameter may be NULL. If not specified, the target file will have the same name as the source file.
[in] CopyStyle
Specifies the behavior of the file copy operation. This parameter 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 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.
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupQueueCopy 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.
