Copy file and service stopped not working

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to install checkpoint. However, before the install, I need to copy a file out of the program files and then back in. also I have a new file that I need to copy over.
for some reason, it all fails. my understanding is when you copy the files if the folder doesn’t exist it creates it. However, I tried that and it didn’t work. then I tried to create the folder and still nothing.
on top of that when I tried to copy the file over that I have that one doesnt work eaither.
any help greatly appreciated.

thank you maarten. that didnt work. I really want to use this tool. but copying files should not be a complicated task.

In the folders Trac.config and trac.defaults  are located anyway files?
I have run copy-file on an test machine 
Copy-File -Path "C:\TEMP\CheckPoint\Trac.config\*" -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\Trac.config"

Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\trac.defaults\*" -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\trac.defaults"

Can you send me de log

Sorry, I missed the first part of your script


Copy-File -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\Trac.config\*" -Recurse  -Destination "C:\TEMP\CheckPoint\Trac.config"
		Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\TRAC\*" -Recurse -Destination "$envTemp\tempfiles\CheckPoint"

Copy-File -Path "C:\TEMP\CheckPoint\Trac.config\*" -Recurse -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\Trac.config"
		Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\trac.defaults\*" -Recurse -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\trac.defaults"

Im sorry for the confusion the trac.config and trac.defaults are files not folders.
I’m still learning this tool. how didi you get the tool to show you a log. or where do Ic heck for it.

I will try with the -recurse see if it helps

The entire point of Copy-File function is to create a folder path for you. It is a wrapper for Copy-Item -Force

Update:
The log – c:\windows\logs\software

Copy-File -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\Trac.config" -Destination "C:\TEMP\CheckPoint\"
 Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\TRAC\*" -Recurse -Destination "$env:Temp\tempfiles\CheckPoint\"
		
		
		
Copy-File -Path "C:\TEMP\CheckPoint\Trac.config" -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\"
Copy-File -Path "$dirSupportFiles\trac.defaults" -Destination "C:\Program Files (x86)\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\"
