mfc / c++ directory creation problem

[Rohan De Sa]

Hello,
I am writing an MFC application in the developer environment. i
am using some functions like "CreateDirectory" and "CopyFile" from
winbase.h.

Unfortunately these functions dont work when I run the exe normally,
but if i get into debug mode and step through the functions then the
functions work perfectly. I am NOT confusing between debug and Release
versions.

Can anyone please tell me what is it that I am doing wrong?

TIA,
R

As the CreateDirectory and CopyFile functions, or indeed any function
from winbase.h, are not standard, their behaviour is entirely
implementation-dependent. Thus we cannot say what is wrong within the
context of ISO standard C. Please ask in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

Yes : you're posting a question about C++ and the MS platform on a ng
dedicated to the C language as defined by the ansi and ISO standards.

This is plain wrong.
