CON is a Windows reserved word, you cannot use "con" in naming a file of any kind.
The following site from Microsoft, states the following:
"Do not use the following reserved device names for the name of a file:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9"

You cannot use "con" in a naming convention at all nor can you use "con" before a period. Windows will not allow it so you have avoid it completely.
e.g. of what is NOT allowed that Quest is aware of. There maybe others.
con
con.txt
con.sql
con.<some extension>
