cannot share drives/images

[gooper]

Hi,

I just downloaded StarWind yesterday and tryed to connect to the RamDrive: successfully

after that i tryed to use an image file which did not work.

I have already found that the image should better be in the install-directory of StarWind.
but no matter if i wanted to let the UI create my image file nore if i used mksparse.exe, i do not have any images files in the UI to chose als device to make accesible.

I always get the error: Cannot add device. Device test failed for 'ImageFile0'.

what am i doing wrong?

Hi Tobias,

You need to change the ImageFile default directory to the path where your disk images are stored.

Open the StarWind.conf file and change the following line:
addplugin -module:"ImageFile.dll" -symlink:"ImageFile" -type:"Image file" -imagedir:"d:\images|cdfv|images|dat,list"

You can add several -imagedir parameters to access several folders.

We'll fix the issue with -imagedir that points to a non-existent directory in the next build.

The default directory, where StarWind expectes the images is the Installdirektory of StarWind, or am i wrong?

I have already found that the image should better be in the install-directory of StarWind.

even when i change the line in the config-file, i do not find any image-files th choose in the UI.

Tobias,

It seems there is a configurational issue.

Please send me your StarWind.conf and the StarWind Service log file for the session.
Also please specify where your image files are located (the directory path)
