Missing "BuildSongDBLog.txt"

HELP! Got Hoster up & running on my new Vista laptop. Copied all my kmas from from ext. hd onto my laptop and Built the new database. When it finished it said there were 41 files with duplicate IDs that should be re-imported with new IDs & that information is supposed to be in a text file under ...Hoster\database.

It's NOT there or anywhere else in the Hoster folder! I even did a Search of the entire C: drive, but it doesn't exist, not even in the Recycle bin. I've done this twice before with XP and did not have any of these problems. Could it be Vista related?

Vista has more than likely hidden the file in a protected folder (I forget what they called it).
Check this thread and apply it to all the Hoster folders.

That should show the file.

Thanks, I followed the instructions from the thread you sent. However, this was just to allow "accessing" a folder that is already there. But the file I'm looking for simply isn't there and it's not a hidden file, nor is it anywhere else on the C: drive. It appears that Hoster simply did not create it.
Really need to know what files were dups that it did not add to the database!

I still say it has been hidden by Vista. I use XP and Hoster does create the file when there are duplicates or problem files. The file is actually directly under the Hoster folder, not in the database folder. I believe there is an option in Vista's Explorer called compatability files that if you set that it will show all the files in the current folder. I don't have Vista so I can't guide you directly to it. Maybe Sam or Madjim can jump in here and give you specifics on Vista.

Agree with all except the file is IN the Hoster folder, which contains all the Hoster files, not under it. Bet you were thinking of the Hoster.exe file.

OK, I even rebuilt the database & followed everyone's advice and changed ALL security settings. I've done everything that will allow all HIDDEN FILES to be shown. I even did another search of the entire C: drive; the file simply does not exist anywhere. I don't know what else to do.

Think I need ADMIN to step in on this one!
