I'm experiencing a lot of problems with MD5 unit when trying to
calculate a MD5 hash of some files (At the moment I have 6 such files)
Often I receive d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e which is a totally
wrong hash.
This hash is a hash of zero-byte file, thus it is not a valid hash for
other files.
If I calculate the MD5 of problematic files with other tools like
MD5summs - I receive a valid hash.
It is not about the path to the file, because it is not working even if
file is in the root of the drive.
Code used in function:
begin
result := MD5Print(MD5File(file_name));
if AnsiCompareText(result, 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e')
= 0 then result := 'Cannot calculate MD5';
end;
Platform is Win32.
Anyone has an idea what can be wrong?
If anyone want to take a look at the problematic files, please send a
private mail, because the files are not for wider public.
