FileNotFoundException on connect

[E-Mans-Application]

Hello,

A FileNotFound Exception is thrown when I call Connect on the EventWatcher (the code is VB.NET not C#):

  Dim filewatcher As New EventWatcher() With {
                .OnRenameOrMove = AddressOf FileRenamed,
                .OnChange = AddressOf FileChanged,
                 .OnCreate = AddressOf FileChanged,
                .OnDelete = AddressOf FileDeleted,
                .Tag = path,
                .AggregateEvents = True
             }
        filewatcher.Connect() 'throws exception
        filewatcher.WatchPath(path) 'not reached

Does the path point to a restricted resource? It is years ago, but I think I had same/similar issue with a number of paths on Windows. You could try with another path?

same problem, but with C# instead of VB.NET

I know this is a super old issue

But if you read the ReadMe

It says both the kernel driver and usermode application are needed
Have you made sure your kernel driver is loaded?
