I need to copy my SQL Server DBs to a folder. The files are attached to SQL Server, which I have detached using my code. When I try to copy these files using

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(filePathToCopyFrom1, targetFilePath1)

It returns error:
“Access to the folder D:\MyDbs is denied”

When I manually coped these files, it asked “You need Administror permission to copy these files” I clicked continue and it worked but how to fix this using my vb.net code?

I have given Full Control to administrator from Windows but still it did not work.
Thanks

    Seems that the detaching process went well. You can copy through windows explorer, but not from you application. The key difference here is that the files are protected to be accessed by the administrator user only.

    Then, you need to run your application using an administrator windows account so that the application inherits the permissions of the user to be able to perform this operation.
