New IDE doesn't "see" virtual drive

[dibor]

Hello guys.
I have virtual drive P: that was create by subst command.
Old 5.73 PB can see and open files from this drive, but new PB 6.03_x64 doesn't see drive P: when I try to open any file by "File" -> "Open".

Any ideas?

Subst drives are session based.

If you create them as admin than only programs with admin rights can see them.
And vice-versa if you create them as normal user.

Hi.
I run PB as admin, anyway I do not see virtual drive.
With PB 5.73 I do not see any problem, if it runs as user or admin - I see virtual drive
Any changes in UAC or registry doesn't helps

Are you using 64 bit version of 5.73?

Are you using 64 bit version of 5.73?

No, I tried with x86 version

[Kuron]

Perhaps the issue is 64bit related? You could rule that out by trying the 64 bit version of 5.73.

[dibor]

Yes, this is issue of 64bit version.
Have install PB6.03 x86 and I can see virtual drive

Any solution?

[Kuron]

No solution, but I seem to remember I quit using virtual drives many years ago due to some odd 64bit quirk.

Perhaps try:

It says that 32bit is no longer supported. Hopefully it will work for 64 bit?

This is weird - it works fine for me on Windows 11 and PB6.03. I use persistent substitutions via the registry though - I wonder if that makes a difference. (See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/top ... 26218a1a23 if you've not used registry files before).

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4 

; Add a persistent drive substitution.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices] 

"P:"="\\??\\C:\\Path\\To\\Projects"

; Remove a persistent drive substitution.

; "P:"=-

PB 6.03_x64 doesn't see drive P: when I try to open any file by "File" -> "Open"

Works here for me.

I'm using ImDisk Toolkit (x64), and have for years with no issues.

This tool will let you mount image files of hard drive, cd-rom or floppy, and create one or several ramdisks with various parameters.

This all-in-one package includes the ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver (2.1.1), the DiscUtils library that extends the number of supported image file formats, and adds several GUIs and features.

Hi.
Tried with this software - same result, PB x64 do not see virtual drive.
Only PB x64 IDE doesn't see virtual drive, all others programs can.
Do not understand

Only PB x64 IDE doesn't see virtual drive, all others programs can.

Try disabling your anti-virus to see if that's the cause.
