Cannot unpack encrypted .ena files in Windows 7!!

Post by andben »

Hi, I Cannot unpack encrypted .ena files in Windows 7. When double-klicking .ena files and then doubleclick the inside file, like secrets.txt, it tries to
unpack to "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\.SalEnc Temp" and i got this error messages:

Name: "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\.SalEnc Temp"
Error: (5) Access is denied.

Retry / Cancel.

Well I tried to change the rights in that directory without success.

The only way around this is to unpack in current directory and then edit the file, encrypt it again and enter same password. (long process).

Advice please!

cheers,
Andben

Try to run the Salamander as administrator. How does it behave then?
(right mouse click > Run as Administrator)

I have tried to reproduce this problem on Vista but it works as expected. Can anyone else confirm this problem on Win7?

Please try to change path in panel to "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\.SalEnc Temp" and try to create new file using Shift+F4 (Edit New). Does it work or does it report the same problem? I believe you should have full access rights to "c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\.SalEnc Temp" directory.

To change TEMP directory for Encrypt & Decrypt plugin go to menu Options / Plugin Configuration / Encrypt & Decrypt, go to Temporary files tab and specify another location in Temporary files directory editbox.

Sweet, works! But how to start Altap everytime with Admin without right-clicking and "run as...." ?
I guess that a question for Windows 7 forum. Thx anyway!

It is not good idea to start Salamander everytime as admin. All applications started from such Salamander will run also as admin.

There are 2 possible options.
- either your enviroment variable %temp% is set to the temp diorectory owned by the administrator
or
- Salamander remembered the absolute path to the %temp% from installation
