What I would suggest is to remove the "Files" project item from your copied project and then right click on "Stores" and select "Add Existing Item". Then, when prompted, point to the existing files object in the drive folder for your original files. This assumes that the folder is network accessible from the location on which you are running the project.

    Hi Robert,

     

    I don't think this could be a clue,

    Firstable I don't have TC on the HyperV it's just TE instances,

    And even if, I cannot specify at each copies the Files...

     

    I wish I could do it by script.

    Hi,

     

    I finaly found a begining of solution for this issue :

    I made a function that, knowing the environment, (HyperV, others...) gives the string for the unc path.

    For example, when the /HV parameter don't exists it uses Files.FilenameByName

    At the opposite, it uses the unc path of the files before copy.
