Xcopyfile does not copy empty folder

[hkkim4]

I have Installshield 2014. and Xcopyfile does not copy empty sub folder, but I have to copy whole folder.

I try 

XCopyFile (resdir + "\\*.*", CurrentDate , COMP_NORMAL|INCLUDE_SUBDIR);

Does anyone help me?

Hi @hkkim4 

Please check the sample code shared in below help link, and try it works or not.

You can also test it  by creating a test project and then try to add installscript Custom  Action to copy the folder. So that it will be easy to investigate.

Hi, Thanks for answering but It doesn't work.

1. CopyFile()

: I want to copy entire folder in source but the function only copy files.

2. INCLUDE_SUBDIR

: It copies folder which has size. It also copies empty file but doesn't copy empty folder(0 Byte).

When I used /E option, I can copy all folder and files including empty folder at Command prompt in windows(cmd.exe)

For example) xcopy SOURCE_DIR TARGET_DIR /e

Is there any way I can copy including empty folder like /e option in installshield script?
