command prompt

[Guest]

i am trying to copy a dll from a network drive through the command prompt to
my c:\windows\system32\. if i go to the network drive and right click and
copy the file then go the the system32 and paste it work. I can rename the
dll through the command prompt but when i try to copy from network drive to
system32 folder i get this message "The system cannot find the file
specified".

here is the command that i type in
ren c:\windows\system32\SQLSRV32.DLL SQLSRV32.old
copy v:\apps\aurum_fix\SQLSRV32.DLL c:\windows\system32\

like i said it will do the rename part but when it gets to the copy part it
gives me that message. and that network drive is the correct path

another thing is i tryed was to copy the dll to a test folder c:\test and
paste it there. I did not do this through the command prompt. but anyway then
through the command prompt if i do a dir on the c:\test folder it does not
show up but if i do a dir /a it does show up. and if i copy and paste the dll
into the system32 and then do a dir on the system32 the dirs in there show up
even the one that is giving me problems. and i noticed through the command
prompt if i browse out to the folder with the dll and do a dir the
sqlsrv32.dll file that is giving me problems does not show up but other dlls
do show up. but if i just browse to the network folder through explorer the
sqlsrv32.dll file DOES show up. So to resay what my problem is " i am trying
to copy this sqlsrv32.dll from a network folder to the system32 folder and i
am getting this message 'the system cannot find the file specified' so i dont
know what to do"

After renaming the file try the commands:

v:
cd apps\aurum_fix
copy sqlsvr32.dll c:\windows\system32

Enclose the source in quotes due to folder name aurum_fix being longer than
the conventional DOS 8.3 filename.

copy "v:\apps\aurum_fix\SQLSRV32.DLL" c:\windows\system32
