Title: Cannot unlock a Bitlocker drive
Post by: andrew on May 03, 2022, 05:20:22

Hi everyone. I cannot open a Bitlocker-encrypted drive in MultiCommander. I select "Unlock Drive" from the context menu in the folder tree and get this error:
   D:\
   
   The directory name is invalid.

Note that the same action in Windows Explorer works fine, i.e. if I am prompted to enter the Bitlocker password and the drive is then viewable.

Another user has had this problem previously: http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,2027.msg7943.html

Thanks for your help and for all the time and effort developing supporting MultiCommander!

I cannot reproduce that.
Not sure why it does not work. MC is not doing anything it self with bitlocker. All that is handled by Windows.
