SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS_A structure (setupapi.h)

  • Article

The SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS structure describes a single file copy operation.

Syntax

typedef struct _SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS_A {
  DWORD    cbSize;
  HSPFILEQ QueueHandle;
  PCSTR    SourceRootPath;
  PCSTR    SourcePath;
  PCSTR    SourceFilename;
  PCSTR    SourceDescription;
  PCSTR    SourceTagfile;
  PCSTR    TargetDirectory;
  PCSTR    TargetFilename;
  DWORD    CopyStyle;
  HINF     LayoutInf;
  PCSTR    SecurityDescriptor;
} SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS_A, *PSP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS_A;

Members

cbSize

Size of the structure, in bytes. Set to the value: sizeof(SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS).

QueueHandle

Handle to a setup file queue, as returned by SetupOpenFileQueue.

SourceRootPath

Optional pointer to the root of the source for this copy, such as A:.

SourcePath

Optional pointer to the path relative to SourceRootPath where the file can be found.

SourceFilename

File name part of the file to be copied.

SourceDescription

Optional pointer to a description of the source media to be used during disk prompts.

SourceTagfile

Optional pointer to 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

Directory where the file is to be copied.

TargetFilename

Optional pointer to 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.

Value Meaning
SP_COPY_DELETESOURCE
 Delete the source file upon successful copy. The caller is not notified if the deletion 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 file name part of DestinationName, if specified, is stripped and replaced with the file name 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.)

LayoutInf

Handle to the INF to use to obtain source information.

SecurityDescriptor

An optional Security Descriptor String specifying the ACL to apply to the file.

Remarks

Note

The setupapi.h header defines SP_FILE_COPY_PARAMS 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.
