Karen's Replicator is coded in VB6. If loosely looked at the code and if
you do have any issues it will be permission issues. As in, does the
current user have rights to the file being copied. Beyond that it should
work fine, and if it doesn't will report such in it's log.

With that said, the program was coded for Win32. Testing on one system does
not necessarily guarantee anything globally, but I'd bet if it works once
for you, it'll work every time.

There are some issues I know of with 32 bit explorers on 64 bit OS, for
instance according to Poutnik

<MPG.26280a0214a42c2c9898e5(a)127.0.0.1>

"One also has to distinguish between managers
just working in 64bit OS, being 32bit apps,
and native 64bit managers.

the former cannot access system32 folder,
being redirected to sysWOW64 folder
cannot access 64bit processes registry items
( if otherwise haveregistry access feature )
and cannot use 64bit shell context items."

I think Ron touched on some issues as well.

Not deal breakers I agree, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any
others.

I don't. The only errors I've seen are file access errors, generally
related to permissions.
