Hi,

first of all a big Thank's to Zenju for this great program.

I've a problem since version 7.0 i think. If i install FreeFileSync in portable mode and then move the entire Folder an error occurs with following Message:


Error launching:
"C:\Users\...\FreeFileSync\Bin\FreeFileSync_x64.exe"

Error Code 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
(CreateProcess)


I hope this is somehow fixable :)

Another problem but not a bug ist that im really missing some valid checksums. Can you please consider posting some checksums for every release like e.g. MD5, SHA-256. I think this would help because i've found a differnce between the version provided by here: http://filehippo.com/de/download_freefilesync_windows/
and your version. The binaries are different too. I'm not sure if this is what you want that there are different versions of your program roaming around the web.

Thank you very much!

Do you have detailed steps how to reproduce the problem? I made a few test, installing, renaming the program folder, but couldn't find a problem.

As long as the executable signature is valid, the files are authentic. I had to re-build the 7.2 release a second time to resolve a show stopper bug affecting only a limited number of users:

I think i've found the solution. I'm using a sandbox program to install FreeFileSync in portable mode with the /NOCANDY command. But if i use VirtualBox and then copy the Folder it works so i think it is the porgram. Sorry for wasting your time :(

Ah that's the checksum solution. Thank you now i'm reassured :)
