[0.11.5] boost::filesystem::remove error

[rk84]

I got myself new laptop with windows 8. (actually my first laptop)
64bit factorio 0.11.5 (exe)
In demo level 2 I got this error after clicking "Next level"-button. Translation: Hakemisto ei ole tyhjä = Directory is not empty

Hmm, that is strange, I tried it on my system but I was unable to reproduce it.

But I have no system with windows 8 (I get windows 7 on all the win machines we have).

Maybe I should try to get some win 8 somewhere and test it.

P.S. Did you get the service pack (8.1) ?

Same as this.

The fix seemed to be to make sure the folder in question isn't read-only.

Hmm, but could cause it to become read-only ?

I don't know, you're the dev..

There's another thread here with same problem, solved the same way. So I'm guessing it's related to windows 8.

The currently-playing folder was read only, or the whole temp folder?

I'm the dev, so I need to know and understand everything

Anyway, I made kind of fix of it, when the file/directory is read only, the game tries to remove the read-only flag and delete it again. I reproduced the error, and with the change it worked for me, so it could solve the problem for some people.

So it is solved for 0.11.12
