[RESOLVED] Phantom AppData Directory
In my latest App, I use the following statement to set the path for files that I will be writing information to:
Code:
MyAppPath = Environ("APPDATA") & "\" & "MyAppName" & "\"
This works fine and on my XP development machine, MyAppPath is then defined as "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\MyAppName\", exactly as I expected. The application runs flawlessly, and both the installer and the uninstaller work perfectly.
I then installed the software on a bare bones Windows XP machine that I keep around for testing. The software again installs and works perfectly in all modes and it uninstalls correctly. However, I am completely unable to locate the App Data path anywhere using Windows Explorer. I've tried searches on the entrire hard drive to no avail. The folder, Documents and Settings, is there, but Application Data is nowhere to be found, and I cannot find any of the files that I use in the program.
Any idea where the phantom AppData directory is on the bare bones machine and/or why Explorer cannot find the files? I'm stumped.
