Plex Updater Error - The Plex data folder could not be found #48

psupdate error

No clue, was working fine on a windows server essentials 2016 plex server, then on a new install of a win 10 pro plex server. Works fine on all my other servers. None of them have the plex data folder in the default location. but most pre-date when plex removed that from SETTINGS > GENERAL options.

The application gets the data folder location from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server. The value is LocalAppDataPath.

I believe this setting has been removed from Plex, and now defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server, which I should change to make the default.
