Immediate problem: I don't have my thumb drive with me today. I want to run Pegasus, from this hard drive, in "-roam" mode so that I don't have to actually install it on this disk.
It is currently located in a backup directory on this hard drive.
=============DETAILS==============
I have been living off a thumb drive for the past several months.
Hooray for the Pegasus team writing an app that can do this (!)
I thought for certain that I put the thumb drive in my pocket this morning.
Hopefully, I just screwed up and left it at home. (yikes if it fell out while I was walking to work)
Whatever, whatever, it didn't make it to the shop with me.
I do a simple little Xcopy command from a BatFile (dinosaur tech; the greatest) several times a week, just for this very reason.
I thought that since this command runs Pegasus from the thumb drive...
winpm-32 -roam -A
...that it should run Pegasus from the hard drive as well.
Nope; the program opens the little splash thing, I enter the user name, then I get this message
The user you are attempting to "become" (admin) does not exist on this system.
I get the same message whether I try that from a command line, or I click on the shortcut link from Windows® Explorer©.
For various reasons, I really don't want to install Pegasus on this machine
Is there a magic way to run Pegasus from the backup directory ? I want to do the -roam thing. I have two such directories (an odd/even day scheme) if that helps anything.
