Add the following:

use Win32::RunAsAdmin qw(force);

This works for me on Windows 10. The user get prompted from indows if the script should be run as Administrator. Copying/Writing should now be allowed. It works for me with your code (without this module it doesn't work for me either). Solution found here.

This is a working example using Temp folder to download and unzip the original zip file. It downloads the (zip) file to be updated in your program installation folder, it enzip it in your Temo folder and copy it to the final destination.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Win32::RunAsAdmin qw(force); use LWP::Simple; use Archive::Extract; my $url = 'URL'; my $WindowsProgramfilesDir = $ENV{'PROGRAMFILES(X86)'}; my $WindowsTempDir = $ENV{'TEMP'}; my $InstallationDir = $WindowsProgramfilesDir . "/INSTALLATION_FOLDER" +; my $ZipFile = $WindowsTempDir . '/update.zip'; getstore($url, $ZipFile); my $tempDir=$WindowsTempDir . '/unzippedFolder'; my $x = Archive::Extract->new( archive => $ZipFile ); $x->extract( to => $tempDir ) or die $x->error; use File::Copy::Recursive qw(dircopy); dircopy($tempDir,$InstallationDir) or die("$!\n");

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
