delprof - "The parameter is incorrect."

[audiorapture]

I am trying to use delprof for the first time, but unfortunately I get the error message "The parameter is incorrect.":

=====
C:\Users\audiorapture>\\lansweeper-vpc\premiumtools\delprof.exe /i /q /c:\\targethost
d:60
Deleting \\targethost\C$\Documents and Settings\user1... [Failed]
The parameter is incorrect.
Deleting \\targethost\C$\Documents and Settings\user2... [Failed]
The parameter is incorrect.
=====

The target is a Windows XP virtual machine on a VMware host.

Any ideas?

I don't even see the DelProf command in the latest version of Lansweeper. Does it have to be manually added? Are there instructions?

You can try REMPROF utility instead, check the syntax and check if you have the same error.

If it's a problem with Delprof you will have to check the sysinternals forum.

This is the current Action:
cmd.exe /K "{actionpath}delprof.exe /q /i /c:\\{computer} /d:180"

And I see the same result ("Parameter is incorrect" after each profile to be deleted) whether the target is virtual or physical.

I can confirm it works fine, if you do it like Lansweeper told, it should work. Are you using a virtual machine for this? If yes, take a look at this since this can be the cause: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/dynamickc.do?cmd=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&docType=kc&externalId=1...

If there was a problem with the command-line or the options the command wouldn't run, would it?

Can you confirm that delprof actually works against remote WinXP clients that are fully patched?

You don't need the "cmd.exe /K" or you will need to place quotes (") around the actual action.

I use the link from the basic actions menu:
javascript:runApp('cmd.exe /K \\\\LANSWEEPER-HOST\\actions$\\delprof.exe /q /i /c:\\\\TARGET /d:180','true');

The result is the same:
