Output Directory Invalid (if Save Backup active)

[rg259]

NWNLogRotator throws an Output Directory Invalid error if Save Backup is active and will at least open two error messages and more if running longer. However the logfiles (html+txt) are correctly saved.

It has been doing this on my machine since I first used this otherwise awesome tool a few versions ago but it keeps bugging me so I find myself using my plaintext batch file logrotator instead of NWNLogRotator.

My relevant INI settings:

OutputDirectory=S:\nwn1_ee\nwnee_user\logs\export\
PathToLog=S:\nwn1_ee\nwnee_user\logs\nwclientLog1.txt
PathToClient=S:\nwn1_ee\nwnee\bin\win32\nwmain.exe
SaveBackup=True
Silent=True

I use a custom nwn.ini in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Neverwinter Nights pointing to my installation using absolute paths:

[Alias]
...
LOGS=S:\nwn1_ee\nwnee_user\logs
...

Hello, in the first alert, it should've said:

The destination file C:/somefile.txt is unable to be written to this folder. Would you like NNWNLogRotator to try and create the destination folder?

If that path looks correct, can you try running NWNLogRotator as admin? maybe your custom path (S:) is being blocked by whatever runtime permissions your user has. Did any UAC prompts come up?

Hey the problem persists while running as admin (my user has full access to that location though, he has created it) here is an image of the error message:
