With process monitor, I made partial progress (after installing the German Vista version). It looks like that there is an explicit Deny ACL entry for read for Everyone in the Programme symlink. As a consequence, os.listdir(r"c:\programme") fails, even though os.listdir(r"c:\program files") succeeds. It looks like Tcl wants to list the contents of the symlink (I'm not yet sure why), and that this fails (ACCESS_DENIED). _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3881> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
