When I try to use the "Options" dialog in VSMS2008 on a Windows Server 2008 box (brand new last week), I get:

16 Jan 2009 01:31:52,285 [3] ERROR RedGate.SQLPrompt.CommonUI.Options.Preferences - Could not load file 'C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 3\RedGateRefactorOptionSetDefaults'
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 3\RedGateRefactorOptionSetDefaults' because it is being used by another process.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share)
at System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(String path)
at RedGate.SQLPrompt.CommonUI.Options.Preferences.d(String )

Also, as this is the main Production Server, I'd like to copy my workstation EngineOptions.xml file to this box, - is that permissible? as I have all my table aliases defined there and really do not want to have to load them again...

  • The first thing to check would be to try to find out which other process has a lock on the options file. You could download Process Explorer from Microsoft - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96653.aspx.

    Once installed, run it and go 'Find' > 'Find handle or dll..', type in 'RedGateRefactorOptionSetDefaults' and then 'Search'. Does it show any processes with a handle on the file?

    Regarding the EngineOptions.xml file; there's no reason why you can't copy the file over as long as you have the same versions installed on both your workstation and server. As always, I'd save a copy of the server options before you copy over the workstation options.

    For whatever reason it appears to be behaving properly and has been for some time, so I'll consider this a "closed thread".

    Thanks for the pointer on the options being transferrable.
