That's really great news!


While you are working on the gp client ... today I've stumbled upon
several clients which don't start the pipe client, neither
from local nor from remote via winexe.

The message is:

Error when generating pipe handle: Das System kann die angegebene Datei 
nicht finden.

We start it like this, on most client this works:

/usr/bin/winexe --interactive=0 -A /etc/backuppc/winpw //PCNAME '\''cmd 
/c "c:\Program Files\Wpkg-GP\WpkgPipeClient.exe" Execute'\'' <&-

Same message when starting locally from administrator cmd box, e.g.:

"c:\Program Files\Wpkg-GP\WpkgPipeClient.exe" Execute


Any idea, what's causing this and how we could go around that?


Thanx and greetings
Falko
