I have a job that has been in use since 2011 that is failing since I updated to 7.7.6 today. The job is extremely simple. I use a file trigger to look for a text file in a folder and then launch the job. It takes the text file, zips it in to a folder, and then deletes the original. I have a 10 minute wait task that completes before the zip task so that the file is completely downloaded before trying to zip. Since updating to 7.7.6, the job runs, it creates the .zip file, but it does not add the text file to the zip and throws a 77777 exit code.

Here's what I have done so far to correct this:
I created a test text file that was completely blank and dropped it in the monitored folder. Same results as above, so the text file is not the problem.
I have verified that the permissions are correct on both folders involved for the user the job is run under. If this were a permissions issue, VC would not be able to create the zip file.
I deleted the job and recreated it from scratch. I still get the same error.

At this point I would roll back to the previous version, but I no longer have the installer.

Anyone have any suggestions on getting this to work again?

You can find old installers here:

1. Which application are you using to view the zip file?
2. if you turn on extended debugging and run it do you get a more detailed error in the error output?
3. please send the log_serverDATE.txt to support@visualcron.com along with screenshots of your settings

Thomas,
I get a 403 opening that link over HTTP and a 404 opening over HTTPS. According to the page at the root of neteject.com, they recently deployed a new site, so perhaps the files have not been moved to the new site.

Just add the version for download like: http://neteject.com/down...Cron/VisualCronX.X.X.exe

The problem should have been fixed in this version:

Thank you for the report!
