Database Exception on install #148

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install OneSync
2. Run OneSync
3. Select C:\cygwin\home\root at the folder to sync
4. Select ...\Desktop\My Dropbox\cygwinroot as the Intermediary Storage 
Location
5. Give the new job a name
6. Click Add New Job

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected the job to be added to the list of jobs.
Instead I receive "Database exception: Please check your job name and 
folder directories for selected jobs"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

OneSync Version 2.0
Windows Vista SP2

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem is probably caused by the UAC on Vista. When OneSync is installed 
on a 
folder which you don't have the permission to edit files, you will get the 
database 
exception message.

Programs are supposed to only write data in folders like AppData, not in the 
program directory (e.g. Program Files\OneSync). Vista enforces this. I strongly 
recommend making OneSync write data to, e.g., AppData\OneSync, so that the 
program can be installed anywhere, including the recommended Program Files 
folder. (I did the same for a C++ app of mine, and it now gets along happily 
with UAC :) .)

I see. I think it is our mistake to force it to do data writing in C drive 
directly. We will follow your suggestion to fix this problem in our next 
release.

Thank you very much for your useful suggestion. =)

OneSync was already installed in "program files (x86)" folder in W7/64. I 
didn't want to install anything at the root of C: anyway. I did have the issue 
mentioned here and  I solved it by starting OneSync3 as admin... no database 
exception error anymore.
