Windows Server 2003

Hi all.

I have written a program (included at the bottom of post) designed to compare the contents of one folder against another. It works fine on my computer and compiles and run. (windows 7).

When I take the .exe to my father's windows 2003 server, I encounter some strange behaviour, namely that it will copy file 00-00-000.jpg (which does exist on master/) correctly but will then also copy 00-00-001.jpg (this file doesn't exist on master/). This causes the program to be caught in an infinite loop.

Also worth mentioning is that log.txt does not get created, seemingly implying something going wrong with fstream?

I am pressed for time - I plan on spending all of tomorrow working on this and have a few ideas in my head which will hopefully fix my program, but after Friday I won't have access to the machine on which the program needs to be run and the project will have to be put on hiatus.

Knowing this, my question is:
Are there any well known incompatibilities between windows 7 and server 2003, or is there anything in my code that would cause this malfunction that you can see?

You can copy a file with CopyFile().

You can't call delete on dump, slave and master as they're variables created on the stack.

You traverse a directories content with FindFristFile()/FindNextFile()/FindClose().
