[sleuthkit-users] FLS on Windows Errors

[Joseph R. M. <jr....@gm...>]

System: Windows Vista x64
Package: Latest Windows binaries (TSK 3.1.1) via the .zip file
Unzipped to the run location along with the DLLs etc.

When running FLS through a batch file, I get this error:
Error stat(ing) image file (split_open -

Here is my command to call FLS:
C:\>"%TOOLDIR%\fls" –m C: –r \\.\C: >
"%TOOLDIR%\%LOGDIR%\%COMPUTERNAME%-files.txt"

To simplify, picture this:
C:\>"C:\Temp\Tools\fls" -m C: -r \\.\C: >
"C:\Temp\Tools\..\Logs\PC-files.txt"

Unfortunately, this usually happens when trying to use this within a batch
file, while usually working when I use it via command-line directly.  It
also seems to help if I navigate to the C:\ root in DOS before I execute the
command, although this is nowhere near full-proof as I cannot get it to
reliably execute in either scenario.

I have tried recompiling this with Visual Studio 2010, but have come across
great difficulty with libews and zlib.  Apparently even VS2008 projects need
to be converted to work, and assembly files are not supported.  Even so,
given that similar issues have considered to be bugs (current, as far as I
know), I am not sure recompiling will even fix it (

).

This is also a problem across several PCs in my batch file, not just my
own.  This has been tested on 32-bit Windows systems as well with the same
result.
