File not found: ProgramFiles

[PhilG57]

Am getting " Status Details: File not found: ProgramFiles" error message when enabling profile with that name.

The profile name is in the C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\VVEngine.xml file list this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

-<SETTINGS>
-<ITEM>
<PROFILE>ProgramFiles</PROFILE>
<DESCRIPTION>Backup Changed Files in ProgramFiles</DESCRIPTION>
<CATEGORY>Mirror</CATEGORY>
<EVERYDAY/>
<STARTTIME>2/21/2018 10:07 AM</STARTTIME>
</ITEM>
</SETTINGS>

The VVEngine log says:

The profile is also stored in the program directory fo VVEngine and in the location VV Pro stores its profiles.

What's happening? What is wrong? Thanks.

Hi, ProgramFiles needs to have a full path specified. What is the full path and name of the profile? thanks

In this case, I am trying to back up the directory "C:/Program Files" so I named my profile 'ProgramFiles' in VVEngine. The full path of the source and target files are "C:\Program Files)\ and C:\Users\Admin\SAVE ProgramFiles\Program Files\ respectively and are specified in the VV Pro profile also named "ProgramFiles".

I had VVEngine working a couple of years ago so I must have an error somewhere but I can't seem to figure it out.

Where am I going wrong? THX.

[PhilG57]

OK, I finally figured out what was wrong and what you were telling me about the full path length on profile names...

Using the "Select Profile" button on the 'Add Profile' dialog box allows you to locate and choose the VV Pro profile and path. Having the path from VVEngine back to VV Pro is how the two apps are connected.

VVEngine is now working as desired. Many thanks for your help.

Great that it's working now!
