Rifiuti does not work on XP

[pedro22]

Rifiuti does not work on XP 32bit - I type "rifiuti INFO2" and get: 'INFO2' does not exist. I try "rifiuti -l INFO2" and get: "Must specify exactly one INFO2 file as argument.", but rifiuti -? correctly displays.

My system is on disk I: not C: - Can this be a problem?

If you don't provide the exact path of INFO2 file, the program expects it to be found inside current directory. Usually INFO2 files can be found in \RECYCLER\S-1-......\ directory on each drive (actual path varies from system to system). And note that this file is hidden by default.

I type: rifiuti -l "U:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-839522115-1637723038-725345543-1003\INFO2" and get: Must specify exactly one INFO2 file as argument.

what am I doing wrong?

@pedro22 Sorry for postponing the reply for so long. In your case, the command line argument was wrong. You can first try running without the -l option; if it dumps error saying you must use -l option, then extra argument after -l option is needed, specifying the codepage used in the copy of Windows which generates your INFO2 file.

For example, if the INFO2 file originates from English version of Windows, then use
rifiuti -l CP1252 <your_info2_file>
