vault client - working folder state info is incompatible

vault: 3.1.8

In changing the user that the ccnet automated build runs under I got the error below, regarding version and state.

How can I clear out the state info? I'd prefer not to change the path. Only have this 1 version of vault installed, so I don't think it is the version.

ccnet running under a domain account

vault client (console or gui) using a vault based user

The working folder state information for X:\somefile is incompatible with this version of Vault. Please choose a different working folder path. The specific compatibility exception was: Could not detect the file type in the supplied stream.

This might help:

You'd clear the cache for the Vault user account used by your build process.

I guess that is what I did when I deleted the directory under the user's local setting/app data directory. Was able to get sources after that. IMO resetting the state should be a 1st class feature of the vault clients. Additionally, the error message should reflect this as well.

I definitely agree with Dhominator. This bug sucked. I spent far too much time working to fix this issue, when I finally stumbled across this thread. After deleting the Local Settings/SourceGear directory, everything is working correctly again.
