Can't find Description.tc.log
What causes this sort of error. Whenever I run a test on one of my machines, I get this after the test finished and then I dont' know if the test passed, failed, etc. The project suite that I am working with is in network/shared mode.
I have tried opening the same project suite and the same test item on a different machine, but everything works fine. I have tried copying over all of the files from the working shared directory to the non-working shared directory to no avail. I have also tried deleting the shared directory and starting over, but that doesn't help either.
It seems that TestComplete can't create the Description.tc.log file, or maybe cannot write to that location. Any ideas?

- To be honest, there are versions of every file IO API that supports longer path name. That limitation was essentially lifted after Windows XP. You can call the unicode version of the API by pre-pending "\\?\" to your path. C:\TestPath becomes \\?\C:\TestPath. That raises the limit to 32K length. This might however be incompatible with some implementations if you supply it externally, the issue should be solved internally, by Smartbear.
