I'm confused with following situation. My application attempts to find a specified directory:
HANDLE _dh, _fh; // Handles for a files
_dh = CreateFile(_ddn, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY, NULL);
If directory does not exists application creates it:
if( _dh == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) {
if( GetLastError() == ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND){
CreateDirectory( _ddn , NULL ); }
else {
CStringW _err;
DWORD _ed = GetLastError();
_err.Format( L" ERROR# %u", _ed );
MessageBox ( NULL , _err , L"123" , MB_OK );
PostQuitMessage(0);
return FALSE;
}
}
CloseHandle(_dh);
This works but only first time. When directory already exists CreateFile
fails with error #5: ACCESS DENIED even if app restarted.
Where is my mistake?
UPDATE
Just tried to create target folder manually - the same issue.
CreateFile( _ddn , GENERIC_READ , FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE , NULL , OPEN_EXISTING , FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY , NULL );
This call always invokes ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
error message (0x5 error code).
