Delphi 7 debugging problem with shared folders

Post by spamkiller »

Hi,

I'm using VirtualBox 2.2.4 on WinVistaUltimate with WinXP as guest OS.

When I start debugging my program under D7 (the compiled EXE file is stored in a shared folder), VirtualBox.exe locks my applications EXE file. Then I close my program, the debugger session ends normally but the lock by VirtualBox.exe is still active.
If I started my programm without the debugger, this doesn't happen (there is no lock after termination).

I found a similar problem here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16278
but without solution (portable version not supported, topic locked).

Is there a solution?

Regards

VBox shared folders are not designed for such use, only basic file transfer, use a real share instead.

With VirtualBox Version 3.0.0 it works now.
