Re: (LWW 5.1) set-file-dates

I think the problem is that the file was opened was CreateFile, but only "Read Attributes" were specified, and according to SetFileTime:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724933(VS.85).aspx

A handle to the file or directory. The handle must have been created using the CreateFile function with the FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access right. For more information, see File Security and Access Rights.

To check that this is the case, you can use the wonderful Mark Russinovich's PROCMON (www.SysInternals.com).

Do a filter (Ctrl+L) to the ProcessName that CONTAINS the "lispworks" word, and then start capturing - CTRL+E.

You would see the following:

Is there some trick to this?

I can't get it to work:

(sys:set-file-dates (truename "C:/home/nick/.lispworks")
:modification (get-universal-time))

Error: Failed to SET-FILE-DATES file C:\home\nick\.lispworks: Access
is denied.(5).

The OS, fwiw, is Windows XP SP2.

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
