jspin2992 jspin2992 Just in Town Registered: 2006-10-13 Posts: 1 Loc: Colorado, USA	I am running a Kixtart application on Windows Vista Business. My application runs a simple "MOVE" command within a KIX script as follows: MOVE C:\SuppAsstTest\kixforms.dll C:\Windows\System32 /H /R I was getting the "Access Denied" error. Different sources indicated trying the Elevated command, as follows: Shell Elevated $CMD where I assign the MOVE command to the $CMD variable I get past the Access Denied and receive "System cannot find file specified" However, the file definitely resides in the source directory and has no special attributes that would make it invisible or unavailable. Any ideas?

I receive the "Access Denied" error. Apparently, Vista has a problem with this, because I have seen various posts across the web. Have you encountered Vista problems?

I've googled Vista & Elevated, and I can see why you might have been directed to look at it from a Vista pespective (wow! sneaky tautology). If you explain how you intend to use the script then other board members may be better able to help. Especially useful would be to know if the script is part of a deployment package run as a user with admin privilege, or if it is intended to be run as a normal user with none-admin privilege.
