Description

Under windows, we had problems upgrading the server NIRVA 4.6.000.

Some files have the 'hidden' attribute and the installation crashed.
- example of file : nirva/perl/.packlist
- trace of nirva install : Error: Cannot create file D:\nirva\Perl\.packlist
We have modified the files to successfully install.

The question remains: Why does the installation can not succeed if some files are hidden?

note : we upgrade from a windows nirva server 3.1.004.
note : we do not put the hidden attribute to some files.

  • Operating System changed from Any to Windows

Nirva installation never set itself the hidden attribute under windows so if there is such attribute on an existing file before overriding, this is the result of an external operation. However, in order to prevent such a situation, we made a modification in the installation program under windows so if the file exists we change its attibute to "normal". This will be available on version 4.6.001.
For now a workarround consits of manually changing the file attributes.
