BirdieSync

Hi,

hope i didn't overlook something written in this forum, but activesync tells me
that it wasn't able to start the birdietransfer.exe
Even if i try to start it manually, he tells me he can't start it caused by a configuration problem and a reinstall helps.
Is that necessary or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
Sebastian

same problem here

birdietransfer.exe is absolutely necessary to communicate with the mobile. Did you authorize it if you have a firewall ?
Could you tell me exactly the error you get when you launch it manually ?
Notice that your mobile must be connected.

Could you also check that the directory C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\BirdieSync\Log\ exists ?

Well,

i can't find any log in a path you described. I don't even have a birdiesync folder in "documents and settings/<name>/app data"



The error message which occurs tells me (translated from german by myself):
"The Application C:\Program Files\BirdieSync\Birdietransfer.exe should methodically be started automatically after connecting to mobile.
Application couldn't be started.

Do you want, C:\...\Birdietransfer.exe to be deleted from list of automatically started applications?
("Yes", "No" Buttons below)

I have the log dir and a birdie dir .. but in Log Files are only Version Strings

Firewall is deactivated.

SittigSuperstar > Did you start Thunderbird to configure BirdieSync ? I think that it should create this directory automatically.
Let birdietransfer.exe be started automatically (so the answer is "no" )
I think that for the moment, the problem comes from the missing log directory.

> sebbel: what's the content of Transfer.log in this directory ?

Hmm,

i'm wondering, if i'm too stupid....

I started thunderbird and used tools/birdiesync options to configure everything...

And my answer to error message was "no" of course, all the time

I just have seen that in the license window at "tools/birdiesync options" no name and no email occurs
but I am properly registered.
information is not available!

Well, that's strange: if I delete BirdieSync\log, it is created automatically by Thunderbird in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\
It is also normal to not have your registration information...

I maybe have an idea about the problem. If you open a command window and launch birdietransfer.exe manually. Do you have an error message displayed ?

Oh dear,

my system's language is german of course and i have an "application data" folder, in which nothing of birdiesync is saved, BUT

the german translation of "application data" is "anwendungsdaten" and i have such a folder with birdie-logs which was hided... i have found it now, so there it is, the whole folder!
But birdietransfer.exe doesn't work although!

Great ! So what happens if you start birdietransfer.exe in a command window ? Do you have an error message ?

Error:

Couldn't execute program!
