i just examined file-commit and file region locking in xp mode beneath windows 7, and if failed miserably.
file-commit doesn't perform whatsoever. if you extend a file by producing at the stop,
Windows 7 Home Premium, and then do a file-commit, after which check out the file duration with find-first,
Office Professional 2010, you receive the old (mistaken) file duration. put simply,
Office 2007 Activation, file-commit isn't going to do anything at all.
additionally, region-locking does not function reliably. often it performs, but sometimes trying to lock a region that is currently locked by yet another program ends in a "general failure" error (31) instead of a proper "sharing error" (32).
you can get testlock right here:
to utilize it simply open two xp mode command-prompt windows (or a single xp mode command-prompt window and one particular windows seven command-prompt window), and then in one of them do:
testlk32 d:\somefolder\ auto2
then, when it prompts you to accomplish so, do precisely the same command inside the other command-prompt window.
if you do this with two windows 7 command prompts, all tests pass.
if you employ an xp command-prompt window in xp mode, together with the shared folder on a windows seven generate (mapped to a drive letter by way of "net use") then examination six (file commit) persistently fails, and checks 5&6-b and 7-b (shared modify access,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro, file commit, and region locking,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus, 2-session) fail intermittently.
