Copy step where source is local to the target

Avatar
Josh Gilliam

I have a package that does:

Step 1. Install (msi)

Step 2. Copy shortcut from %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Folder\Shortcut.lnk to %PUBLIC%\Desktop

This works only when the file %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Folder\Shortcut.lnk exists on the central server, even though it doesn't actually need to be present for the action to succeed, since %SYSTEMDRIVE% is resolved on the target.

Is there a better way to do this using the File Copy step type, without needing the file(s) present on the central server? Sure I can just use a command or powershell step, but the File Copy step type feels more appropriate for this task.

Cheers

    There is no way to get the Source of the File Copy step to look at the target. You will need to use a PowerShell or Command step for this.
