    Shared file attribute

    Is there a way of checking whether a file has a shared file attribute. And
    then can you change it to unshared.
    I can't use my program to make a copy of a file because it produces an
    error.
    However if I set the attributes so it is not marked as shared on
    installation (Inno setup installer) the program can make a copy of it.

      The "Shared attribute" is not an attribute on the file, it is a counter
      stored in the registry.
      This counter will have absolutely no bearing on whether you can access
      the file or not.

      Try using process explorer at the time it fails to see what has the file
      open and locked.
