I’ve been using SyncToy for quite a few months to keep in sync some folders between my laptop and the other two machines I have in office, and it always worked just great for me (I know, I should be using Groove instead but I’m not happy to have services and programs running when they want, instead of when I tell them to run… ?).
When I switched my primary desktop in office to Vista x64, I very quickly discovered that SyncToy was crashing immediately after running it, with no error messages or clues about what is going wrong… I didn’t had much time to spend debugging it and try to figure out what was going wrong (it’s not a must have tool for my work, after all…) so I simply used the laptop to synchronize folders between the two desktops, too…
Until this morning, when I had a few minutes free and decided to get back to this problem and try to fix it once for all (and write a blog post on it, too ?); anyway before even opening WinDbg, a research on the Internet brought me to this blog: http://joshmouch.wordpress.com/2007/03/27/synctoy-14-and-vista-x64-error-fixed/. I tried, and it works like a charm! ? Wonderful, thanks a lot Josh!
