Excerpt from a multi-megabytes log file created by my program
xcopy.exe in batch file doesn't ask for Y/N before copying
I wrote a Windows software using Delphi and was pleased that it runs under
Linux Mandriva Spring 2009 (under VirtualBox under WinXP) thanks to Wine.
Congratulations !
I also wrote an installer for a CD-Rom for which, given the large number of
files (> 1000) to copy I created a batch file with several XCOPYs. 
For example
XCOPY "G:\TSE24MPC" "C:\Program Files\MPCT2v3\TSE24MPC" /S/I/C >> "C:\Program
Files\MPCT2v3\MPCT2.log"
(where G: is the CD and MPCT2v3 is the (already created) directory where the
files should be copied)
Unfortunately I didn't use the /Y parameter which "Overwrites existing files
without prompting" because it was not supported by some Microsoft older OSes. 
Instead I used 
SET COPYCMD=/Y  >>"C:\Program Files\MPCT2v3\MPCT2.log"
which apparently was not taken into account. 
My program records batch file output in a log file (see attachment) which grew
up to hundreds of MB's while Wine File Manager didn't show the expected copies.
At worse it appears that XCOPY should display a message in my French XP
Remplacer C:\Program Files\MPCT2v3\TSE24MPC$DJ.BGI (Oui/Non/Tous)?
But no message appears since no command prompt window is there and the same
message repeats itself until I stop the XCOPY program in Task Manager.
It should perhaps be wise to eliminate interaction from DOS commands or support
COPYCMD to avoid the problem. Thank you again.
