Can not open file for read on win7 and 2008R2

[lsakizada]

Hi,

I am trying to open file for read.

It is working on Win Xp but not on Win7/2008

What am I supposed to do?

Here is my function. I am getting the error: "Error - Unable to open file:"

Func RunProcedure($filename)
    $file = FileOpen($filename, 0)
    If $file = -1 Then
        C("Error - Unable to open file: " & $filename)
        _FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "\Search.log", "Error - Unable to open file: " & $filename)
    Else
        $counter = 0
        While 1
            $line = FileReadLine($file)
            If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
            Parse($filename, $line, $pString, $counter + 1)
            $counter = $counter + 1
            Sleep(5)
        WEnd
        FileClose($file)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>RunProcedure

Perhaps you dont have permission to open the file.

Perhaps you dont have permission to open the file.

I have administrator rights on all machines.

Same files are failing to be opened.

Any idea how to compare rights?

Are you running the script "as admin"?

Well I just noticed that I may have a lock on the file and this is not an Admin issue.

I probably need to figure out how to unlock the file..

It stands to reason that if you locked the file in some fashion then you ought to know how to unlock it, if not then you do not have permission to open the file.

If the file is locked that means another application is currently using it.
