A responder suggests checking if the file has the System or Hidden attribute enabled, which could prevent it from appearing in standard directory listings.

Hi,

I have just installed FCIV on System32, but when searched it is not found:

An image from 'FCIV not found after installacion on System32'. Windows Explorer shows no search results for 'fciv.exe' in the System32 folder.



I can see it from "cygwin":

$ ls -l 'C:\Windows\System32\fciv.exe'
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jlfdiaz Domain Users 84784 may 13 2004 'C:\Windows\System32\fciv.exe'


But not from Command:

C:\Users\jlfdiaz>dir C:\Windows\System32\fciv.exe
El volumen de la unidad C es OSDisk
El número de serie del volumen es: 0AD5-2E68

Directorio de C:\Windows\System32

No se encuentra el archivo




Any idea of why I can see the file from W7?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jose Luis.

I would check and see if the System and/or Hidden attribute are set. It won't show up in file explorer or command prompt.
