Does Folder Exists

I am attempting to check if a folder exists and if it does not the create.






    checkLocation = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Local Settings\\Temp\\TestComplete\\";



    //Check if the location exists

    if (!aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo(checkLocation).Exists) 

    {

            // Creates the folder

            createSuccess = aqFileSystem.CreateFolder(checkLocation);

    }



The 'TestComplete" sub folder does not exist and I expect to get a result of false.

However, when evaluating the expession 'aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo(checkLocation).Exists' I get "Unable to open the folder." and thus an exception.



when altering checkLocation variable to 'checkLocation  = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Local Settings\\Temp\\";' the expression evaluates as true.



Can you offer a solution to checking if the folder exists?



Thanks

Mark
