Things to consider:

a) Does the user have the correct permissions?
b) Does the folder path exist?
c) Does the path in the text box already have a "\" at the end of it?

Are you getting any errors? if you step through your code slowly, does it work?
I also believe you have to have the file name at the end of the destination.

i.e. File.Copy(filepath, textBox2.Text+@"\setup.exe");

File.Copy(filepath+@"\googletalk-setup.exe", textBox2.Text + @"\googletalk-setup.exe");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(textBox2.Text + @"\googletalk-setup.exe");

Hi srigates,
here i have a solution for your error.

C#

// Below your file line that was not required, use get current directory.. and get file stored default path
and copy to file to destination where u want
//string filepath = "C:\\Users\\Public\\DemoManishRT_1\\DemoManishRT_1\\EXE\\googletalk-setup.exe";

string filepath = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

// Below create folder for that particular path
Directory.CreateDirectory(textBox2.Text);
File.Copy(filepath+@"\setup.exe", "destination file path" + @"\setup.exe ");

// and below ill exeute file automatically
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(textBox2.Text + @"\setup.exe");

I hope it will help for you.... just have a fun.

My solution suddenly started to not compile properly. Its attempting to copy the Exe file from the Obj directory to the Bin/Debug directory but fails.

Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\App.Client.exe" to "bin\Debug\App.Client.exe". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\App.Client.exe' because it is being used by another process.

I have tried the following solutions, but without any luck:

Checked that the App.Client.exe is not in the process explorer, due to the program not shutting down correctly.
Tried to add the following to my Startup project prebuild event:
if exist "$(TargetPath)"*".locked" del "$(TargetPath)"*".locked"
if exist "$(TargetPath)" move "$(TargetPath)" "$(TargetPath)."%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4%_@_%time:~0,2%h%time:~3,2%m%time:~6,2%s%.locked

Enabled diagnostic logging (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run->MSBuild project build output verbosity->Diagnostic. I will will paste some of the log concentrating on the issue in this question.
