Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains why executables fail to run within the IBM® Rational® ClearCase® MVFS on Microsoft® Windows® even when the execute bit is properly set on the file.

Symptom

When any directory in the directory tree to which an executable resides has permission of 770, the executable (even if protected as 777) will fail to fire with one of the following errors:

Windows Explorer or ClearCase Explorer:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Command Line:

The system cannot execute the specified program.

Note: The same error results if the executable is a view private file.
