UNC paths are not supported?

Maxpower

At work, all our files are on a network drive. This way, anywhere you login, you will have access to your files. So my Code Composer files are all on a network drive. I have been using CCSv4 for 7 months without problems developing on a network drive. Today, we opened our new lab and I am trying to compile my project on a new computer, but since I am logged in, all my development files are in the usual place. However, now I get this error:

"\\<path_to_my_user_space>\My Documents\Code Composer\workspace\Motor_Drive\F2833x_RAM'

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.

UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

Fatal error: could not open source file "../HVPM_Sensorless.c"

1 fatal error detected in the compilation of "../HVPM_Sensorless.c".

Compilation terminated.

It says that UNC paths are not supported but I have been doing it this way for the past 7 months. Why would it work on one computer and not another? What setting am I missing?

I am using CCSv4 4.2.1 with compiler 5.2.10.

I would have posted this in the CCS forum but this looks like a compiler error

Thanks

What version of Windows were you using on the old machine, and what version on the new machine?

Both are Windows XP Professional SP3

I found a "workaround". On the PC that is not working, I opened up the .project XML file and changed the \\UNC_Path to my mapped drive letter path. Then when I started CCSv4, I changed the workspace path from the UNC path to the drive letter mapped path. Now I can compile.

What I don't understand is how it works on my original PC (at my desk). It has all the paths listed as UNC paths but I get no complaints from the compiler.

The message you are getting is from the Windows command interpreter, not from the compiler or CCS. You might try this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/156276

Thanks. I will check this out.

I wonder if our IT dept set this in the registry on my desk machine but not the lab machine. I will have to ask them.

Thanks again!
