This appears to be done with closed source code rendering FFS 8.0 and later binaries not open source and possibly in violation of the GPL if the project has accepted outside code under the GPL and combined it with their closed source code.ħ.9 Dev Test 4 (): Added 1 second pause before helper launches FFSħ.9 Dev Test 3 (): Downgraded to 7.9 to resolve install.dat lockdown (locked to specific relative path), disabled update checkĨ.2 Dev Test 2 (): Added second process breakĨ.


The app locks itself to a specific relative path in an attempt to force end users to use the bundleware installer to install and upgrade the app. The official builds of FFS 8.0 and higher can not be made portable. Particularly if you've tried FreeFileSync 6.3 or later (the standard version without PAF) and had encountered this error on your system. Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between a source and a target folder and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed. Please give it a try and report back whether it works for you. FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all your important files. This setup uses a second helper process to handle some of the file moves and break processes. Error Code 32: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. This bug results in an error: "Cannot open file "GlobalSettings.xml". I've put together a development test that attempts to work around the long-standing bug in FreeFileSync 6.3 and later that renders it unable to be launched from other processes (menus, schedules, third party file managers, etc).
