Here is a wierd one, just wondering if anyone else has ever come
across this.
I write custome programs for the company I work for. A couple years
ago and again recently, I update a program, released it to production
and one computer still runs the old exe.
Both times my first thought is I released the old exe back into
production thinking i had copied the new one. In both cases I
recompile the exe and make sure I post out the new exe to the server,
but when I fire the new exe from these computers, the computer is
displaying the old exe, even thought the old exe is no longer in the
folder or anywhere to be launched. I reboot the computers and now the
new exe is running.
I am unable to repeat this in any way, like I said, the first time was
a couple years ago and then again recently. This is even on two
different computers.
My only thought is that windows is saving the old exe to some temp
location and just using it not the new one on the server. Any
thoughts from anybody?
