Program abortion upon inaccessible directories and junctions

Open Feathered-Serpent opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Upon trying to let a whole disk drive being scanned (e.g. where one might install games), BurnOutSharp first stops at this: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\System Volume Information' is denied.

Probably because the directory is owned from the Windows System account. But it's not only permissions who stop the program: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Gemeinsame Dateien' is denied.

This is a junction to another directory: <JUNCTION> Gemeinsame Dateien [C:\Program Files\Common Files]

So how can I make the program just skip over these entries?
