Two new errors

Posts: 2 · steveinuk 5 Jan 2022, 09:04

Hi, I been getting a constant error for a little while now;
- Cannot open file "L:\Sync\sync.ffs_db".
- Error code 0x54f: An internal error occurred. [CreateFile]

I decided to change preferences of app to "Run as Administrator" now it does not recognise the drive at all and I get the following error as the software cannot even see the drive;

- Cannot read file attributes of "L:\".
- ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND: The system cannot find the path specified. [GetFileAttributes]

Removing the "Run as Admin" at least allows it to see the drive.

I'd rather solve the 0x54f problem out of the two...

What is "L:\"?

I take it that L: is a mapped drive letter.

Mapped drive letters exist under a user context.
And when you "run as administrator", you are no longer you, so the mapped drive is not seen.
That is expected.

You could (also) map the drive while you are running "as admin" or you could use UNC paths to the drive.
(You don't want to "run as admin", particularly, unless you have some specific reason to do so.)

(None of this has anything to do with your 0x54f.)
