Hi,
I'm trying Transwiz for the first time. It starts creating the transfer file, but after a while it brings up a message that says "Transfer Failed The transfer file has not been created." Is there any way to troubleshoot that message? Thanks. |

Hi, Unfortunately there isn't. This is something we are working on for the next version of the software. The error occurs because the zip engine throws an exception (possibly due to a corupted file) and Transwiz is unable to recover. |

When is the new version going to be released? This issue has cost me a significant amount of time. The timestamp on the TRANSWIZ.EXE appears to be 5/10/2011... (for 1.2.1044.2 corporate). It doesn't seem to be asking to much to have an option for the exception handler to simply alert or log an error, skip the file and move on.

Fair comment. The problem we have is that we have never - not once in all the time we have been developing Transwiz - been able to reproduce this error. As a result we are working blind. We have of course added exception handlers to the code, but obviously not successfully.
We very much want to find a solution. If anyone is able to help please email support@ForensiT.com

As an FYI, I was able to workaround the exception failures by simply running chkdsk on the partition where the user profile was stored. In a previous iteration of the issue, I managed to eliminate the zip exception by reducing the amount of data in the profile (most likely moving some of the suspect bits), but a zlib error was thrown during the verification stage.
I guess the best recommendation that I could make to deal with the issue would be to chkdsk a system before attempting a profile transfer, which doesn't sound like a bad thing in general. Unfortunately because of the nature of the data housed in the user profile, I can't share a copy of the profile for inspection. It does appear that the issue may be with some bad index values or broken symlinks. If there is a reference to a file in the directory structure and the data appears to be missing sufficient to throw an error during a move/copy operating such as the following (This is the Win8 version of the error, although I was using Windows 7 for the profile transfer, I just happen to moving another rev of the broken profile with a Windows 8 box at the moment): "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in <DRIVEPATH>. Verify the item's location and try again." Hopefully that may help a bit.
