The file that was (or wasn't) there
Hello, I'm calling some nUnit tests from a C# WCF service, the how isn't too important. At any rate this WCF service is running as: myProcess.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem; The nUnit test creates a testresult.xml that contains the test results. If I open an Administrator command prompt as me I don't see the file: c:\Windows\System32>dir testresult.xml Volume in drive C is Windows C Volume Serial Number is D0B0-**** Directory of c:\Windows\System32 File Not Found c:\Windows\System32>whoami mydomain\charlie c:\Windows\System32> If I use the sysinternals psexec tool ( PSEXEC -i -s -d CMD) to open a command prompt as system, I do see the file: C:\Windows\system32>dir TestResult.xml Volume in drive C is Windows C Volume Serial Number is D0B0-**** Directory of C:\Windows\system32 08/23/2012 11:10 AM 3,412 TestResult.xml 1 File(s) 3,412 bytes 0 Dir(s) 41,799,045,120 bytes free C:\Windows\system32> I also see the file in explorer if I browse to the c:\windows\system32 directory. It's mysterious to me that I can't see this file at all in a command prompt. I've experienced not being able to view the contents of a folder, or not being able to edit a file, but I've never seen it where I couldn't see a specific file (unless it's hidden), and this file isn't hidden. It especially doesn't make sense that I CAN see it in Windows Explorer. By the way I'm running Win7 x64. -Charlie

Hi, If the issue only occur on this file, the cause should be the way of testresult.xml generation.
