Unlock .exe file

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi,

We have a script to publish our files to the network but sometimes a user opens the exe file and creates a lock in the copy process of finalbuilder.
Is there a standard finalbuilder action to unlock a .exe file?

Greetings,
Martijn

Hi d32,

Currently we don’t have an action that will unlock an executable file. There are however pstool command line calls that can be made to report what application is using the file. These can also possibly unlock the file in question.

These command line calls could be called from FinalBuilder Execute Program action. Note that if FinalBuilder is blocked waiting on another action to complete, then it won’t continue onto executing this action to perform the unlock.
