There are enough space (>50GB) on drive J, C and D. So not the problem of low space. Direct copy and paste these files doesn't have a problem.

J: is an external HDD.

I am syncing folders from drive D to Drive J, but got errors as attached picture for all .exe and .dll files. What is the problem?

Agree! it may be good on a huge screen, but is mess for laptop. Suggesting to have option to select traditional flat view or the new tree view.

The version 9.8 has the same issue.
My harddrive is BitLocker encrypted, may this be the cause? I don't see my system has any other difference from a normal system.

I don't find DGAgent or Verdasys in the services list either, so I don't think I can do any with this service. But why the v9.6 was installed and worked well? The error occurred when it was upgraded to v9.7. I cannot uninstall FFS from my computer either, got following error when uninstall it.

Interesting! I don't see the DGAgent folder at all. I have set to show hidden and system items, still don't see this folder.

I have run the commands, no issue found

Seems the error code 122 issue still not resolved. I will sent a new trace file.

When I tried to upgrade to v9.7, I got this error, what it is? My system is Windows 10 pro 64bit. It had no problem with v9.6, but I am not able to revert back v9.6 now, the same error. How can I resolve it?

Installed FreeFileSync on a new laptop under Windows 10 pro. When clicking Compare, I got an error code 122 as following, what is the issue?


Cannot set directory lock for "D:\01_WORKING".

Cannot get process information.

Error Code 122: The data area passed to a system call is too small ...

The log is strange: After installation when you close the dialog, it starts up FreeFileSync_XP.exe, but it never terminates. Either your log is incomplete and you ended the logging before this process ran through, or perhaps the process crashed?


I am not familiar with Process Monitor, just ...

There is no install.dat file in that folder

In this case something went wrong during installation. If no error message is shown, can you send me a Process Monitor log of the installation procedure? That should allow to identify the problem.

Maybe some AV/firewall software is interfering with the installation or the start up?


The Windows default AV/firewall is used.
I uninstalled and re-install it, the error message became

Did you confirm/close the installation dialog before starting FFS? Zenju, 18 Mar 2017, 18:59

Yes

Are there any error messages during installation? Zenju, 17 Mar 2017, 21:01

no error during installation.

Get an error: Reinstall, reboot Windows doesn't solve the issue.
What's the problem?

I want to sync read only files from a server to local computer, but got an error:

Cannot set directory lock ...
Cannot write file ....\sync.ffs_lock
Error Code 5: Access is denied. (CreateFile)

Is there anyway to do such sync without create the lock file or create the lock file elsewhere?

How can I sync the files in the root folder only, exclude all subfolders? There are too many subfolders to be excluded one by one.
