Henrik,
Ran across a weird problem this week. A while back we talked about dealing with archive files, as I need to download the GeoIP Country and CityLite files every month to update some software that uses those 2 files. Since VC can't handle a gzip file natively you recommended I use a separate program to handle the archive, which I did. Just to play with it I wrote a small script in AutoIT 3 which downloads the file, calls gzip to extract it, and then copies them to the needed directories. It works perfectly from the command line, all files download, extract and copy. So I created a task to call the exe from VC once a month. However, when called, the file downloads and extracts but the copy process never completes. I tried both background execution, as well as foreground with administrator profile, but neither works. Any ideas? I know I can call gzip from VC to extract, and then copy the files within VC, which I will probably do anyway, but I'd like to know why this isn't working, because it might cause other issues trying to run a different program down the road. Thanks. BTW, I dont get any errors running this from within VC, it just doesnt copy files.

Kevin,

have you checked both Output and Error output. It is probably related to Credentials or paths that are wrong. Are you using UNC paths by the way? Can you try this locally first?
