During the migration of our scripts to Kix2001 beta 1 we
discover a timings problem.
What are we doing:

• setfileattr(file,128)
  
• del file
  
• writeprofilestring(file,.....)
  
• setfileattr(file,7) which means: file will get ReadOnly, Hidden & System
  attributes.
  

Result (see line 290): The system cannot find the file specified.

remarks:

• remove line 268 means the file becomes the RO,H,S attributes
  before the new information of writeprofilestring has put
  to the file.
  
• we discover this problem by using our local C-drive as destination
  location. normally we are writting those information to user's
  home directory.
  

Script code which is a part of our script logon.kix 2.00, which
has been check with kixstrip.exe. We were using the options
/debug /block_check /show_errors:
