COPY MyFile.ext %PUBLIC%

So you mean if i do this it should work

COPY MyFile.ext C:\Users\%PUBLIC%\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit

So then it will copy to 3 diffrent user.

C:\Users\Test 1\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit
C:\Users\Test 2\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit
C:\Users\Test3\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit

I don't think that the response I provided is suitable for the example you've now provided.

The following untested powershell script may work for you.

$PathToMyFile = "MyFile.ext"
$UserProfiles = GWmi Win32_UserProfile -filter "LocalPath Like '%\\Users\\%'" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty LocalPath
ForEach ($Profile in $UserProfiles) {
	Copy-Item $PathToMyFile -Destination "$Profile\AppData\Roaming\IDMComp\UltraEdit"
}

Thank you very much for helping.

• Open Powershell as Administrator
  
• Type/Enter Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  
• Try again!

<Edit>You may find that an ExecutionPolicy of RemoteSigned is better for you.<Edit>

Hello

the script seems to work now

Can you make so in the script it auto makes this also

Open Powershell as Administrator
Type/Enter Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

so i dont need to do it. i would like to try the script with wpi and see if it works there but the
script dont work before i have set the policy.

[Yzöwl]

The setting of the execution policy is a one time only deal in normal use.

You have decided however to now incorporarte this script as part of a WPI install; That is not something which necessitates the editing of my script.

WPI can utilise the running of powershell scripts, you can set the execution policy to unrestricted prior to running this script. Search the WPI Forum for more information on how to do this.


Are you sure that you are using WPI to install on an already running system with several users already configured with the application data directories you're intending to add to?
