This is a very bizzare problem. I will just jump in and summerize what I already figured out.
I found that cetain files can (suddenly) not be copied. It used to work, it stopped working a few weeks ago. This results in a windows error saying that the file is in use. This sounds like this bug: KB949857 It says windows has a handle leak, and it leaves the files in use. Their "workaround" (it would be fixed in vista SP2) is to restart the SERVER in holding the files. Saying that windows server will release those files when it restarts. The problem is, that OpenSolaris does not do the same, retarting does nothing. They also offer a beta hotfix, I installed v2 (latest) and it still doesn't work (I have a feeling that more files work now though). File types affected: exe rar zip File types not affected: txt Possible actions on such a file: Rename Delete Open with winrar (and use winrar to recompress using the "covert function", which creates a file that CAN be copied!) Actions that fail: Installing (if it is an exe file, the windows install hangs due to being unable to copy) Copying it to another location on the server copying it to a local windows folder. I have tried disabling my anti virus software, and it did not help. I am wondering what applet in windows is it that is creating that mess. And any suggestions on how to regain access to those already "open" files. This message posted from opensolaris.org
