Copy the file yourself.
It's really quite easy.
The exact code depends on what level you are writting your
application.
 If you are striving for standard C, use the fopen/fread/fwrite/fclose
group.
 If you want to use the WinAPI, use the
CreateFile/ReadFile/WriteFile/CloseHandle group.

	Open both files in binary mode
	do
		read
		write
	while not eof
	Close both files
