foldershare and vista 64 bit

i downloaded ver 2.5.10 and installed on 64 bit vista i just built. I have
foldershare working on 2003 32, vista 32 and xp 32. this is the 1st 64-bit
pc i have tried it on. i just installed the os, and all updates. i start
the application and it errors right after starting. in the event log the
only thing i get is a generic 1000 event id. any ideas?

RE: foldershare and vista 64 bit

I couldn't get it to work either. I installed on my VISTA x64 and the XP
Machine at the office. I kept getting error messages on my VISTA x64 machine
that I didn't have access to the files to be shared. Since I was able to
install it on VISTA x6, I thought it would function properly. I guess I was
wrong.

Vista Ultimate x64 here and foldershare works fine[1]. I don't believe I did
anything special to make it work though it was many months ago now. Yyou may
wish to verify that the Vista firewall lets it through. I also happen to use
an HTTP proxy on this LAN. Foldershare version 2.5.10/build 6903 here.

Chris.

[1] That is, when foldershare itself is working.

Hmm, that's odd. The fileshare application installed itself without any
hickups on my Home Premium x64 setup. The installation on the remote XP
machine went smoothly as well. When it came time for the actuall
syncronisation, I kept getting errors that I didn't have access to the files
on my VISTA machine that I wanted to sync. The firewall notification poped
up and I unblocked it, so the firewall wasn't the problem. It had more to do
with the rights to the actuall files on my VISTA machine.

At any rate, if an application like that does't work right off the bat for
me, it's just an indication that is isn't reall ready for prime tiime. I
won't use it. Perhaps a little bit later. Besides, I have the sneaky
suspiction that the service won't be "free" for long. Strangely, things like
Skydrive work well right from the beginning.
