    You are not closing the find handle you get from FindFirstFile. Use
    Windows.FindClose for that. You are not freeing the memory for the message
    buffer FormatMessage returns to you.

    You are making your life unduely difficult by using API routines where there
    are equivalent Delphi routines (FindFirst, SysErrorMessage).

    You may want to look at the ShFileOperation API function for the copy
    operation. It allows you to copy several files in a single call, to use
    wildcards, and to (optionally) show a progress dialog.
