BUG: OpenFile() Doesn't Handle Forward Slash ("/") Character (111588)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1
This article was previously published under Q111588

SYMPTOMS

OpenFile() does not correctly handle paths beginning with a forward slash character ("/") (for example, as in "x:/").

CAUSE

The forward slash character "/" is put into the normalized name as is, instead of being converted to a backslash character ("\"). OpenFile() is not implemented to check for the forward slash character.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
