[Jbackpack-discussion] Windows 7, x64t: JBackpack doesn't find rdiff-backup location

[Ariel Amitaï]

Hello,

I tried to install JBackpack and the executable doesn't seem to find rdiff-backup location, even using the "Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistribuable package" feature.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Download the programme from here: http://www.nongnu.org/jbackpack/downloads.html to my local download directory
2. Proceed to installation using the downloaded ".exe" file
3. Wait for the download/execution complete
4. Follow the prompted instructions to copy the clipboard content (rdiff-backup.exe) to: C:\Windows\System32
5. Launch the JBackpack ".exe" again

Here I encounter a window with a warning/error message:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JBackpack needs rdiff-backup for all backup and restore operations but  rdiff-backup could not be found.
Please make sure that you hace administrative privileges, otherwise you will not be able to install the programs below.

[Install  rdiff-backup]

On older systems it may also be necessary to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package.
Please install it, if  rdiff-backup can not be found after the installation

[Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package]
[Restart JBackpack] [Exit JBackpack]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even if after running the "Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package" a restart JBackpack, the same error/warning window shows up.

My system is an up to date Windows 7 x64  installation. The following  Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages are installed:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable package
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package  x86
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package  x64
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 redistributable package 
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 redistributable package 

"rdiff-backup.exe" is located in "C:\Windows\System32". Helps would be appreciated.

Thanks by advance for your support
