hi

c:\Program Files (x86)\Thinware\vBackup>vbackup -help

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "06/30/11" to type 'Date' is not
valid.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToDate(String Value)
at vBackup.vBackup.Main(String[] strArguments)

c:\Program Files (x86)\Thinware\vBackup>now

Thu Mar 31 14:37:58 2011

c:\Program Files (x86)\Thinware\vBackup>date
The current date is: 31.03.2011

versions tested:

Thinware-vBackup-0.2.0.94.msi
Thinware-vBackup-0.2.1.105.msi

os:

w2k3 r2 x64 english, regional settings german/switzerland,location switzerland

Looks like the date/time parser in your visual basic does no sanity checks for other date/time formats..

Kind regards,

Michael

We have found that this bug is due to the application's handling of regional settings and date/time formatting.

We have a patch that we are looking to test. Anyone who is interested in testing this patch please send an e-mail to (vbackup [at] thinware [dot] net).

Thanks!
