Our HR people had a problem with the new SARS e@syFile Employers application. On opening the program it could pop-up with a window saying"The application has started from the incorrect icon. Please start e@syFile - employers from the desktop icon"
Even if you open the program from the desktop icon it still gives you this error.
I found that you can do the following to fix this.
- goto
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\EasyFileEmployer. {hash}\Localstore\
Windows Vista: C:|Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\easyFileEmployer.{hash} \Localstore\ - Copy the EasyFile.db and easyFile-employer.air files to a safe location.
- Uninstall the e@syFile Employer application.
- Re-install the program from the setup file
- Copy the EasyFile.db and easyFile-employer.air files back to the directory.
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\EasyFileEmployer. {hash}\Localstore\
Windows Vista: C:|Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\easyFileEmployer.{hash} \Localstore\ - Start the e@syFile program again.
I would suggest that you backup the EasyFile.db and easyFile-employer.air files on another computer/server or removable disk.
You can write an xcopy script that will copy the files to a server or backup disk and create folders named with the date of the backup like so:
@ECHO OFF
MD E:\PAYEBACKUP\%Date:~0,4%-%Date:~5,2%
CD C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\EasyFileEmployer.{hash}\Localstore\
XCOPY *.* E:\PAYEBACKUP\%Date:~0,4%-%Date:~5,2%\
@ECHO ON
