We create & write to a text file which interfaces to some other software. Using POSReady 7, if the path to write the data is the system drive (usually c:\path\ile or c:\myprogname\interface\ile) it throws an invalid path error. The file is created but that's as far as it gets. Normal Win7, Win 8 & XP process the file correctly. Even mapping a folder on the C:\ drive doesn't work but using any other drive is fine. Permissions are all OK (things like Notepad can write to the desired path). We suspect there's some sort of a filter in POSReady which prevents non-MS apps writing to the system drive, but having said that the program installs on the system drive and our data files (in this case classic HF) also write correctly. We've spoken to the suppliers and distributors of the machine but neither of them were able to help. As a work around we are using a USB stick. If anyone has any other solutions or ideas as to the cause of the problem I'd greatly appreciate it.
