The 2nd cause is actually directly related to the first I think. If your SYS contains a module in folder form, but another kitchen has it in file form, you see this.

Ultimately I think it's because Vista freaks out when you ask it to overwrite a file with a folder of the same name. File -> File or Folder -> Folder is fine, but not one to the other.

My solution was to clean out file instances or entire modules from SYS when they existed somewhere else.

EDIT: After reading Drellisdee's response, I'm remembering another issue I had and perhaps this was what I experienced. Following are other steps I took that ultimately did the trick, though I'm not positive which did it.

• "Take Ownership" of your temp folder. Though this should already be done, in my case it wasn't and I have no explanation (and I'm the domain admin)
• Drop to a cmd window. CD to the \Kitchens folder, and run "attrib -H -S -R *.* /S /D" to ensure all files are visible, and writable.
• Consider leaving the 2119x SYS folders expanded instead of archived. (Thanks to dan-htc for that tip). Things run quicker and it saves you time setting things up.

Its step2. Without that the overwrite function in PPCK for duplicates will not work and you will get permission errors. Here is a bat to run from root of SYS_common & the dpi to prep the files for ppck. This will cause trouble on an ervius kitchen so bewarned.
