Re: VS2005 crashing when trying to Build a solution stored on a network drive

Hi Ryan,

In your case, it may be that your home directory (My Documents) was NOT mapped to the H: drive at the time you installed VS (?), in this case, VS2005 will have seen your local hard drive as the home directory.

My Documents is not mapped to my H: drive, I'm not sure where you got the impression that it was.

That's what I'm saying (read above), it was NOT mapped to your home directory.

Why is it I can transfer these Project folders to any local drive/folder and they work correctly if it has something to do with relative paths? I can transfer them from C:\...\...\My Documents to C:\MyVSProjects to F:\Data\VS2005 (providing F: is a local drive) and no matter where I transfer these folders my projects always compile and work correctly.

OK, in that case I agree, it doesn't look like it's related to the home directory mapping not being in place at install time. I thought it was worth a look as our's were all in place.

You have to wonder about the competency of your network Admin team though?

1. They should not give out domain admin accounts as this is a serious security risk especially as IE will be installed on your computer.

2. Why is it they were not able to track down the cause of the error?? Did they set up auditing of file access and file locking on both client and server and watch it carefully as you bit "build"? Did they do verbose logging of builds outside the IDE on your behalf?
