Problems with MultiCommander_win32_Portable_(5.6.0.2000)

(1/3) > >>

LabLover:
Put the MC folder into the root of my C: drive on an 32 bit XP machine.  When I attempt the start the program, I see numerous errors, e.g.

1. failed to read config file: multicommander.xml

2. Same as above but looking in my application Data folder, this repeats 3 times.

I assume I am doing something incorrectly, any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

In Portable version it do not read config from application data folder.  everything is read/written to the folder where MC is located.

Is the MultiCommander.xml file valid. Not 0 bytes.. and If you drop it on Windows Explorer it will show an error if the file is not a valid xml file.

LabLover:
Multicommander.xml =2498 bytes.  I can view the contents and it seems to be intact.

I am definitely getting all four error dialog windows I mentioned earlier.

Mathias (Author):
Does it have write permission. ?
Are you running any sandboxing security software ? then maybe you need to whitelist MC

Might be XP related but none of the users running the beta on XP reported any issue.

Mathias (Author):
Are you running NTFS or FAT32 on that drive ? If FAT32 then check the filedate of the .xml file
There is some XP issue that on FAT32 system the filedate might get corrupt and make it not possible to read the file correct if the file date is before 1970.
