Change History

There has been a change to DuplicateHandle that would prevent Eraser from successfully unlocking a file. A fix was implemented in r2332-r2333.
comment:3 Changed 20 months ago by Joel
r2335-r2337 adds extra code to unlock files which allow ADS enumeration but not deletion. The same bug is fixed in Eraser 6.0 in r2338.
comment:4 Changed 20 months ago by Joel
A separate thread suggests that the unlock code does not work for some users. If you are experiencing a similar problem, provide the following information:
- Version and architecture of Windows (e.g. Windows 7 Professional x64)
- Anti-virus applications running.
- TrueCrypt or other file-system level drivers installed?

I can't get Eraser to crash with this. I tried to erase both an open Word and PDF document: while the file could not be unlocked, Eraser did not crash.
