Who is on Windows 7?

[TigerSoftware]

I need some people to test something out on Windows 7 for me.

I am running into file locks which results in error on my new Windows 7 laptop.

I need you to build an installation and once it is done build it again. I am getting an error because the software is locking files.



Thanks,

It looks like there is a bug in Windows 7 that keeps locks on files even when I copy them to create the installation.

I need to figure out a workaround to this.

Basically, you build a installation once and then need to restart the computer in order to build a installation again because of this Windows 7 bug.

Hey Robbie,

I just need someone to build a software project into a setup file. Once it is created, I need you to do it again to see if you get the same error I am getting.


Thanks,

No need to install the created software.

I am building an installation and it works fine. I build another installation and get an error. This is without closing TSB. Build one right after another without closing down TSB.

There seems to be a problem with Windows 7 and the way they lock files.

Thanks Robbie.

I wonder why I am getting those errors. Either way, I have a feeling others will get the errors as well. My work around doesn't seem to work when it comes to clean up.

Get back to work! :)

Thanks again mate,

Hi Thomas,

No issues here also.

Hi Thomas,
I just did five builds without shutting down TSB pro, compressed, uncompressed, even changed some settings, ie. making multi-user, adding audit, and security and changed the layout. No issues at all. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Cheers mate

Thanks Jim.

Maybe it is coming from some updated components.

Back to testing.

I also have win 7 64 bit and have no problem creating installation files back to b ack.

Thanks Mike.

I decided to be safe and create a workaround for this problem before others start having it. If I don't create the workaround it is almost guaranteed it will start popping up as a problem. hehe

I'm on Windows 7 x64 bit, but only have TSB Express. Do you only need tetst from TSB Pro owners? About to go to work so it won't be until this evening when I return.

Thanks

Hi Stewart,

All versions will work the same. ;)

I decided to create a workaround just in case people start having problems. It is already implemented into TSB Expert and will be added to the other versions.

The problem I came across is documented so I thought it better to fix it before anyone has the problem.

Murphy's law will kick me in the butt if I didn't. hehe


Thanks,


Thomas
