Nano_5_1: UniTray no start from junctioned folder

[SteP]

Hi, has anyone tried running Nano_5_1 Start.exe from a junctioned folder? It fails starting UniTray1.exe without any error message.

 

Reproduce by:

- download uniserver 5.1 main zip file, unpack into folder v:\test. no perl or addons necessary, just the zip file

- create a junction (use sysinternal's junction.exe or other tools) from C:\Nano_5_1\UniServer to v:\test\UniServer

- go to to C:\Nano_5_1\UniServer and run Start.exe => UniTray not started

- now go to V:\test\UniServer and run Start.exe => UniTray started (OK)

 

Here V:\ is a substituted drive (SUBST.EXE V: J:\APP) but I don't think that matters, I think only the junction matters.

 

platform: uniserver 5.1, Windows XP Pro SP3

 

edit: I tried running Start_UniTray.bat directly in a similar setup. It also silently fails starting UniTray1.exe.

When servers are run current path is checked against what’s in the following file:

UniServer\unicon\main\location_tracker.txt

If different all absolute paths are rewritten to the current path and tracker file updated accordingly.

 

Above explains the results you are observing.

 

All the best

Hmm, how does it explain why Start.exe fails starting UniTray1.exe? I don't get it.

 

However, this info does help me to understand the other issue I reported regarding my out-of-the-box experience. Suggestion: add the contents of location_tracker.txt to the informative output of UniTray 'Server Status' entry. That would help diagnose startup issues like the ones I described in another thread.
