Vista - Error Moving WLM Storage Folder

I am using WLM on XP SP2 and I really like it. I went to the
Options/Advanced and selected a new directory for my file storage location.
When I restarted WLM I got the attached error message and the move failed.
Is there a way to get this to work?

Did you create the directory before you changed the location?

Yes I created a new, empty directory first.

This is the first time I have heard of such a problem. Antivirus program perhaps, or a symptom of WLMail's shut-down bug?

edb.log and tmp.edb have both been implicated in the shut-down bug.

Try again, but this time, restart WLMail and change the location without doing anything else within WLMail, then immediately exit WLMail.

If you want to try to identify other programs which might have that file open
you could try using Process Explorer. E.g. press Ctrl-f in it to find file handles
which contain .edb. FWIW when I do that I see multiple instances of tmp.edb
but they are all for different files (e.g. different paths.)


Good luck
