Hi Andrew,
after installing the Visual C++ Redistributable package now all the
binaries >=1.2.3 are working properly (at least on the XP Guest).
I've done some testing with versions 1.2.3pre2 and 1.2.3pre3 and the bug
regarding read-only files seems to be fixed :)
However, on both versions there is a problem with read-only directories:
when on Linux we have a read-only dir (o-w is enough), on the Windows
side the dir is created and all its content is created and updated
correctly on subsequent backups (even read-only files). Then, if you try
to rename or remove the source dir and perform another backup, an
"Access denied" error is risen. If you don't rename or remove but
instead you play with adding/removing permissions from the source dir
and perform subsequent backups, all seems to work.
Test case to reproduce:
- mkdir dir
- chmod 577 dir (just to test the most "relaxed" permissions: only the
owner doesn't have "w" flag)
- Run rdiff-backup (1.2.3pre2 or 1.2.3pre3)
- mv dir dir2
- Re-run rdiff-backup
All the testings are done with root user.
Thank you,
Marco

Hi Erwin and Marco,
For now, it looks like you can install the Visual C++ 2008
redistributable package (1.7mb):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en
If that link doesn't work, look for vcredist_x86.exe on microsoft.com
I've asked on the py2exe mailing list if it's possible to include the
VS2008 runtime in the .exe. From what I can read online, the move to
VS2008 in Python 2.6.1 (which we need to use, as it supports files >
4gb) has created a lot of complications.
Andrew
