Thank you for your really specific answer, I will go to the IoT forum, insider, etc to make the request.

You can open only files or directories inside the ApplicationData.LocalFolder or Package.InstalledLocation directories. It can't open files in other locations, such as removable media. This is an interesting request, but it's really a limitation of Windows. UWP apps using SQLite can't access databases on removable media until CreateFile2 changes (or an alternative is provided). - Howard This email may contain confidential and privileged information.?

(I can work with text .dat files without issues.) The SQLite library PCL It arrives to here: SQLiteApiWinRT.cs public Result Open(byte[] filename, out IDbHandle db, int flags, IntPtr zvfs) { Sqlite3DatabaseHandle internalDbHandle; var ret = (Result)SQLite3.Open(filename, out internalDbHandle, flags, zvfs); db = new DbHandle(internalDbHandle); return ret; } Where Open is [DllImport("sqlite3", EntryPoint = "sqlite3_open_v2", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)] public static extern Result Open(byte[] filename, out IntPtr db, int flags, IntPtr zvfs); where I am using: SQLite.UAP.2015, Version=3.8.10 And here is where the road ends, any help? I do not know in where the string is converter to storagefile or whatever way is accessing to the file, any clues? NOTE: I have used ??????? ??????? Libraries too, arriving to the same point, so I can assure that is internal, but I do not know how to continue. Thank you!

Your email is using charse gb2312 which is a Chinese character set. four of the characters are not mapping to UTF-8 properly. A problem may be that you are passing invalid UTF-8 to SQLite which may be causing the inability to open the file. the invalid characters are 0x3f ox3f which is not a valid UTF-8 sequence. ------------ Scott Doctor scott at scottdoctor.com ------------------ ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 17:27:04 +0000 From: Juan Pablo Garc?a Coello <juanpa...@expediteapps.com> To: General Discussion of SQLite Database <sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org> Subject: Re: [sqlite] RemovableStorage in UWP for SQLite database - sqlite3_open_v2 issue Message-ID: <414DD1207A7EA3409BAA064DBD728BE038A8A4A1 at ORD2MBX05C.mex05.mlsrvr.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sorry that where the Spanish quotation it is just E:\db.dat. if there is any strange char it is about the email not the code. I can assure that is not just a newbie issue, it is more complex I think it has to be something with permissions or how internally looks for the file. -----Original Message----- From: sqlite-users-bounces at mailinglists.sqlite.org [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] On Behalf Of Scott Doctor Sent: 27 June 2015 18:11 To: General Discussion of SQLite Database Subject: Re: [sqlite] RemovableStorage in UWP for SQLite database - sqlite3_open_v2 issue On 6/27/2015 9:37 AM, Juan Pablo Garc?a Coello wrote: > path to the removable storage path like ??E:\db.dat?? and it always tells > CannotOpen.
