Hi Cievo,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. I tried to create a new directory both in that particular application (Which happened to be Microsoft Visual Studio 2008), and in the 'debugging' virtualized cmd.exe in the same container.
As you suggested, you can build a small virtualized test application to replicate the situation:
- start 'Setup Capture.exe'
- start the 'prescan'
- create a new directory in the 'My Documents' folder: 'My Documents\test1'
- start the 'postscan'
- Next...Next...Finish
You should now have a new 'cmd.exe' application in the "VMware ThinApp\Captures\cmd\bin" directory.
Execute it.
In the 'cmd' window that appears, go to your 'My Documents' directory. There should be a 'test1' directory which doesn't exist in your real 'My Documents' directory.
If you try to create a new directory inside the 'test1' directory (with 'md test1\test2'), the system returns: 'The system cannot find the path specified.'
Creating a new file with 'echo "test" > test1\file' works fine, and results in the 'test1' directory being created in your real 'My Documents' folder as expected after which creating subdirectories in the 'test1' directory also works.
Regards,
Thijs.
