Can I get robocopy.exe as a standalone?
I need to preserve the Create Date when I move files from one computer to
another via flashdrive, and zipping the file is problematic. It sounds like RoboCopy might work, but I don't want to download the entire 11MB Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools file - I'm using a dial-up connection. I did a search of the download site, and that Resource Kit file was the only file that showed up. If I do download the resource kit tools file, can I just put robocopy.exe on my flashdrive and use it by itself when I want to transfer a file from one machine to another? |

I presume that link to the file, was made by installing Robocopy GUI and then just extracting the executable robocopy.exe part. http://jyvkqw.bay.livefilestore.com/...8/ROBOCOPY.EXE Running that one, robocopy.exe /? returns "ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows :: Version XP026" Using this page, the Robocopy + GUI can be downloaded. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/m.../cc135870.aspx About a 1MB download. This would be Robocopy XP026 plus some kind of GUI. There is an MSI inside that, which does the install (I didn't test it). It is possible, even though this one should also contain XP026, that the executable is different. Since this one is current as of today, you might prefer this one. http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ght2006_11.exe "Microsoft Robocopy GUI 3.1.2 Release Notes Bug Fixes: 1. Corrected /XA:O to add it to the /XA: string instead of by itself. 2. Fixed bug that omitted the /XO flag even if it was checked. (Thanks to Taylor Bryant for finding and reporting this bug)." Just a guess, Paul |

Robocopy.exe is available in Windows 10...so if you have a computer running that OS you can get the latest version. Just search c:\Windows for robocopy.exe For the GUI from MS there is a link provided in some of the other posts here. |
