Boxcryptor and SQL Compact 4 Database

OWalther

BoxCryptor seems not to work when accessing file with some programs:

in .NET, when accessing an SQLServer Compact 4 database file, if this file is in the encrypted directory the program crashes saying it cannot open the file for the path is too long, while putting the file in an unencrypted directory with the same path length all works.

Hello OWalther,

have you tried enabling long path support in the advanced options -> right click the drive -> edit ?

Best regards,
David

Hi Otto,

Sorry, we haven't had the time to try to replicate the issue. Could you please post the debug file here or open a ticket in our support system and send us a debug file there? Our support system is at http://support.boxcryptor.com

To create the debug file do the following:
1) Quit BoxCryptor
2) Type into the Windows startmenu "boxcryptor.exe /debug"
3) Reproduce the error
4) Quit BoxCryptor
5) The "BoxCryptor.log" is located on your desktop

Thanks,

Hi everybody,

Just in case somebody is having problems with an SQLServer Compact 4 database (or any other program which is internally using such a database): This is a known issue and there's no way to fix it. Sorry. SQLServer is using not only regular file operations, but also some undocumented low level file system operations which we cannot emulate in the virtual drive.

Best,
Robert
