Case 2550405 Device MC75A0 WM65 Customer McDonalds Date 03/13/2012 Customer is deploying their customization on Localized OS's Japanese, Korean, Chineese Traditional The installation of their custom application, AppCenter, etc.. is based on sending a lnk file via cpy file to the \Windows\Startup folder. However, in these OS's, this folder is not in english but labeled in it's local language. Cpy files can not send files to the startup folder because it does not exist in english. To put the localized characters of the folder name in the path requires the file to be saved as unicode. When the file is unicode, it seems the os does not copy the files. Can anyone tell me how to create a cpy file that will work on localized OS?

For Fusion, in the past we had this: \Application\FusionApps\WCLAUNCH.lnk > \%WSU%\WCLAUNCH.LNK I don't think anything changed... I would suggest the following: 1) Don't Cold boot in your test, because things don't flush on a cold boot, and you may have ended up never actually taking the skip copy change. Instead do a warm boot after merging skipcopy. 2) Try on an english device and see if it also fails using this %WSU% method. I am pretty sure it should work because it is what was in the Fusion builds, but if it doesn't work on english either, we'll have to verify that it is correct. Dave

Copyfiles recognizes certain macros for special folders. For example: use "\%WSU%" for "\Windows\Startup". Such as: \Application\MyApp\MyShortcut.lnk > \%WSU%\MyShortcut.lnk
Hi Dave, thanks for the response. I tried to use the following cpy command \application\AppCenter1.lnk > \%WSU%\AppCenter1.lnk on my MC75A6 - latest BSP Japanese OS. I first merged skipcopy.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\COPYFILES] "SkipCopy"=dword:00000000 then did a 1-9-power the file does not copy from the application folder to the windows startup folder. Do you see anything wrong with my test case? please advise.
