Details:


The problem is with lines


        if (length (attrib) < 12
            || ! strcmp (deblank (attrib(12:end)), r(i).Name))
 

while the offset of 12 is suitable for Windows-XP, Windows-7 & Windows-10
changed the format and the offset is 14.

Maybe we can identify errors in different way:


c:\temp>attrib kuku
File not found - kuku

c:\temp>attrib kuku\kuku
Path not found - C:\temp\kuku

c:\temp>attrib /kuku
Invalid switch - /kuku


search for File/Path Not found or Invalid switch.
