File missing from Search Everything [SOLVED]

[Brondahl]

I went looking for various versions of csc.exe on my machine, using SE.
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" didn't show up, and it was only later that I discovered it existed.

Further investigation showed that MOST of the .exe s in that folder, and indeed in Framework64, aren't showing up in SE. Other files (e.g. some .exe.config files ARE showing up.)

I believe I've followed all the obvious checks:
- Check exclusion lists. (None defined)
- Close SE (includeing from Task Tray) & Reopen. (No change)
- Force Index rebuild. (No change)
- copied another vanilla .exe into the same folder (it showed up)
- give "Everyone" user "Full Control" permissions on the file (it still didn't show up)
- Ran disk check. (No errors reported)

Any advise on how to proceed?
I'm used to being able to trust SE to give me a complete readout of my entire system and being able to locate any file anywhere. If I suddenly can't 100% trust it, that would be a massive blow

What version of Everything?

Normally I would have said they are hardlinks, but at least on XP, that does not seem to be the case. And with Everything 1.4, hardlinks are detected.

BTW:

Code: Select all

E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\csc.exe
E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe
E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe

Framework64

So you're probably not running 1.4 beta, so get that, http://www.voidtools.com/.

1.3 never did find hardlinks, if that happens to be the case.

Ah hah!

Yes, upgrading to the 1.4 Beta has fixed it.

(For the benefit of future users....)
This prompted me to ask Google how to identify HardLinks ... which lead me to these:
http://superuser.com/a/366748/466237
http://superuser.com/a/995968/466237
which allowed me to confirm that the files were indeed hardlinks.

Thanks for your help!
