I suspected that, so I tried Win 8 SDK which has the API. So now the compiler understands the API but I am still unable to get a call on Detoured function...

The sample gives compiler error of identifier "CopyFile2". Assigning CopyFile2 to its Function pointers doesn't look like an issue since other APIs are getting detoured correctly by similar methods.

It is just a function pointer that is been stored. Adding (PCWSTR,PCWSTR,COPYFILE2_EXTENDED_PARAMETERS) gives a compiler error saying "Illegal use of this type of expression"

Oh that was a horrible typo. Thanks for pointing it out, I have corrected the question. I have tried this a lot of times - it doesn't work either.

Hey @The_Inventor, thanks for the reply but I am not sure which snippet do you want. So please do tell me if I am adding a wrong comment. In the snippet above, *Trampoline_CopyFile2 is the address used for storing the original CopyFile2 function. Detour_CopyFile2 is the function that will replace the original CopyFile2 assembly. If you want me to add MS declaration and decoration of CopyFile2, here is the link - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh449404(v=vs.85).aspx

Yes, I posted the same question on the discussion board also - thinking that it might be a minor issue. However, as you can see, no one replied me there. So, this is another permutation I tried to check if starting a new thread may have better visibility to anybody who can help. Anyways, could you help me with my problem???

Initially my plan was to send the file over LAN, and "MSEXEC" it. So the installation part wasn't that important. Now, as you suggested, I am attempting to "MSEXEC" the same installer from the shared folder by creating a process on Remote machine. In such a case, is the file copied to the remote and then executed or is it extracted first. In the later, as I recollect, SMB may add latency issues, will it?

Thanks for the response. The purpose of this utility is to do the remote installation. Agreed, I can create a remote process (also through WMI) and pass the shared path to the remote machine. Then the remote machine will be responsible for installation. What about the network over-head. Will it be more than sending a file and installing?

It isn't complex... I am just looking for a better solution... I don't trust SHFileOperation, it's parameter passing(double null terminated string) and result codes are weird. That's why I am here asking you guru(s). :-|

I have work arounds... SHFileOperation can be used on server to copy file on remote machine - It works. Another way to do this by WMI is by creating a process in remote machine that runs copy command. But that will require Server login credentials. The First method will obviously need impersonation. Re-usability is this, I am already using WMI for some operation. For that I have impersonated the remote machine. So if I use SHFileOperation, I will have to impersonate the machine again. This is what I don't want. I am 101% sure...

I am trying to develop an enterprise software that will manage many (lets say 100+) machines at a time. Running 100+ client receivers isn't a great idea.
WMI is used for enterprise management. Agreed that all remote operations are not done by WMI, but I am already using it for some operation. So was thinking of reusability of code.

Just to help - a very interesting Workaround, disabling & enabling DataGridView after modifying the rows resolves this issue.
