Win7 conundrum

Author: Sytze de Boer

Posted: 2010-07-04 20:08:51 Link

In one of my apps, when you exit, it offers to backup your data

I use Azip and you can name your file and destination

It so happens my client told it to backup to C:\KCB.ZIP

System is on Win7

When he tried to restore, the file was not there

I tried this on MY Win7 system

My routine told me it had made a backup and that it could see the file

i.e. (mbaks=C:\KCB.ZIP)

mybackup=azip(.T.,"&mbaks","*.dbf *.fpt *.cdx *.fr? -foxuser.*")

If !File("&mbaks")

=Messagebox('OOPS something did not work and your backup is NOT

successful ',0,'WARNING')

else

=messagebox('Backup file created',0,'')

endif

I tried this in the command box

?File("&mbaks")

Answer is .T.

I type DIR C:\*.ZIP

and it tells me the files found are: c:\kcb.zip

I check it with explorer and CMD, both tell me the file is NOT there

What am i missing ?

Could the back up file be in the current directory of the application?

Hi Tracey

Correct, if I type (in the C:\ folder) DIR *.ZIP > YESY.TXT, I get Access is

denied

I have quit my program

I go back into the command window of the folder where I have all source code

etc (for this specific app)

I again type ?FILE("C:\KCB.ZIP")

and the reply is .T.

I go SET DEFAULT TO C:\

DIR *.*

and I can see KCB.ZIP

This is bizarre

It is called Virtualization Service and it was introduced first time in Vista.

A good explanation can be read here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5538#toc3

The idea is that from your point of view, the file is in C:\. It is not there physically, though, but you can consider it is there. If you want to avoid this kind of problems in the future, write files where you have write access rights. For example, create a folder in C:\ and put all your stuff there.

It is called Virtualization Service and it was introduced first time in Vista.

A good explanation can be read here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5538#toc3

The idea is that from your point of view, the file is in C:\. It is not there physically, though, but you can consider

it is there. If you want to avoid this kind of problems in the future, write files where you have write access rights.

For example, create a folder in C:\ and put all your stuff there.
