Cannot open file "C:\TEMP\PLS-Recovery\16910550.001"

[William Robertson]

When I open PL/SQL Developer (7.1.5.1398 launched with a "desktop=general" argument, on Windows XP Pro 5.1 SP2) I've started getting error alerts along the lines of

[size=8pt]Cannot open file "C:\TEMP\PLS-Recovery\16910550.001". The system cannot find the file specified[/size]

There are several other similar looking files in C:\TEMP\PLS-Recovery, so it's not like the folder has gone away.

I'm afraid I can't remember when it started happening but it's in the last couple of months.

Any suggestions?

We'll make this more robust in the next release. Can you find a cfg file in the PLS-Recovery directory that has a text contents that points to the 001 file?

where can I find the recovery files? I needed to change my hard disk, but I can access the files on my previous drive. I do not have a temp directory on that drive.

The normal location would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp\PLS-Recovery

How about distributed applications? We are currently using Novell Application Launcher, and I can not find any PLS-Recovery directory on my local machine.

It will always be in the Windows temporary path.

thanks, got my files back. I was using Vista, and it was in the c:\users\/appdata/local/ directory.
