| It says path not available/cannot be found. Something along those lines. I can try it again if you need a more specific answer. |

Thanks, this VVEngine issue was now fixed. We'll be publishing the fix with a new VVEngine build in the next couple of days. Thank you for your help.

| How will I know when it is available. I haven't been able to even find a build number or version number within VV Engine. How do I identify that? |

Sorry, but this release was delayed a few days. 
To check if a new VVEngine version is available click on "check for updates" in VVEngine (the link is at the bottom of the VVEngine home page)
thanks

Ok, after installing the update, I still had some issues. Every time I tried to use a profile in VV Engine that had the \\?\ in the path name. I finally realize that if I changed the setting under the schedule for that profile: 'Schedule Run Only If File Changes Are Detected In: Source/Target.' It will not work if I check off Source but it will work if I check off Target.
Also, I cannot seem to get it to work at all with UNC path names such as \\?\192.168.100.100\FolderName
I have tried mapping drives also and it will not work either.
Either way, when I try to run the profile from within VVEngine, it tells me: 'Target folder not found.'
I have no problem browsing to that exact folder within Windows Explorer but VV does not seem to see it for some reason.
Also, the same exact profile will run with no problem if I remove the \\?\ from before the path. |

Hi
There is a difference between being able to access a remote folder and monitoring a remote folder for changes.
Being \?\\192.168.100.100\FolderName your profile target folder, if you try to monitor the target in the VVEngine scheduling settings, you may get an error. But if you do not monitor that target folder in the VVEngine scheduling, the profile should run OK.
Ok , try this:
- use \\?\UNC\192.168.100.100\FolderName instead of \\?\192.168.100.100\FolderName
If that also does not work it is probably not possible to montior 192.168.100.100\FolderName at all. You need to switch off monitoring the target in the VVEngine scheduling.
The presence of \?\\ should not make a difference.
I do not think if you change \\?\192.168.100.100\FolderName into 192.168.100.100\FolderName it would work.
thanks

| I have never heard of actually using 'UNC' in a path name. Is that proprietary to VV? Either way, it did the trick. It seems to running fine now. Thanks. |

Hi,

It is an internal Windows prefix to specify UNC paths > 259 chars.
thanks

|
|
Guys, I had some issues with long filenames in the pro version and saw this but I have a few questions.
First, can it not be an option in some checkbox so you don't have to fiddle with the \\?\ or whatever? I'm awfully stupid and this is a surefire way to screw me up.
Second, IF windows can handle whatever path/name/length I have, how come the VVpro didn't handle it? Just trying to understand how this works and finally, what's the cost to upgrade from pro to the latest version?
Thanks
George |

Hi, in Windows XP and Windows 2003 you could not access any long path names unless you specified \\?\ before the name. Then we decided to have the same notation in ViceVersa as in Windows. But now, it would probably make sense to support this transparently.

|
|
| Quote: | It is quite rare to exceed 256 characters for a file path name. If that is needed, ViceVersa PRO 2 now supports long path names exceeding 256 chars. To enable this in a specific folder you will need to prefix the folder name with \\?\
Example
To allow paths longer than 256 characters in c:\folder\backup\
use \\?\c:\folder\backup\ as source (or target) in ViceVersa |
Why can't it be transparent? i.e. rather than entering a prefix (etc) for over-259 character filepaths, why can't it simply be made a default for any filepath?
Sorry for repeating, I think the "transparency" been addressed above.
