Windows 10: Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied ?

[Thorium]

Do you know what is this:

C:\git\MyProject>packages\Paket.0.35.12\tools\paket.exe convert-from-nuget --verbose
Paket version 0.35.12.0
Paket failed with:
        Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied.

I'm using admin level command prompt on Windows 10 CTP.

Is the same reproducable on Windows 7/8 ? I don't have 10 installed to test

[Thorium]

No, Windows 8 seems to work fine. :-)
Ok, I can live with this.

Mhm would be still nice to understand the issue. I have a gut feeling that
this will hit us again

Ok. I found the reason, and it was not Windows 10.

Now, in the first try Paket calls PaketEnv.locatePaketRootDirectory which yields sequence:
C:\git\MyProject\paket.dependencies
C:\git\paket.dependencies
C:\paket.dependencies
...and assumes to take first, which should not be found.

But I had old backup of paket.dependencies in my C:\ folder, haha, so Paket tries to scan my whole C: -drive for dependencies. When I deleted the file, everything goes ok.

maybe worth a warning?

[forki]

I'm not sure how/when to warn here

or probably just a log message like for other commands found dependencies file in "C:\paket.dependencies"

[forki]

That's logged in verbose mode

This might help: Document & Settings is a legacy NTFS junction point that points to C:\Users. Directly accessing the correct location would be recommended.
