Image.Save can not over write images in Win7

I'm trying to save a image into a local drive using Image.Save method. It works fine in other OS but I see only problem in Win7.

In Win7 it can't overwrite existing images, even it does not throw any error. Possibly it's a bug in Win7 as I see a related hot fix here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028610 .

But this hot fix doesn't solve my problem. If anyone have encountered same issue please let me know.

Thanks.

What folder are you trying to save it to? The root folder of your C: drive? Win7 is fickle about programmitcally saving files to the root folder of a drive. Try saving it to a folder off of the root and see if that helps.

This is sort of a workaround, but can you delete the existing image first? System.IO.File.Delete(path) before the save should give you more info.

You probably need elevated privileges.
