Hi All, I want to copy some c++ library files programatically (using java) to winsxs folder. But i could not able to add that because of access denied. Is there any programatic way to do this? Regards, Dhavan

Why would you copy files into the WinSXS folder? This is a system folder and protected such that only the trusted installer service can add content. This service is called when Windows adds components, hotfixes and service packs. If your application is not one of these, it has to write its files in another location.
