Are you running AppSnap as a user with Administrator privileges? If not, the
cache
directory will not be created.

I tried running the gui with administrative privileges, but I don't think it
changed
anything...

This seems to be an issue with Vista's heavy use of junctions (or "reparse
points").
More info:

In my case, the junctions in C:\ProgramData were pointing to the E:\ drive
(presumably a mount point for the restore partition). I blame Sony.
To fix, go get Mark Russinovich's "junction" utility:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx
(What would we do without Sysinternals?)
Copy the junction.exe executable somewhere convenient in order to run it (e.g.,
C:\Windows). You may have to run cmd.exe as Administrator to do this.
cd to C:\ProgramData and run the following:
> junction "Application Data"
Note the output. Then run this"
> junction /d "Application Data"
> mklink /d "Application Data" C:\ProgramData
That fixed it for me. Ultimately, AppSnap needs to be altered to simply point
to
C:\ProgramData\AppSnap, which will make this work-around unnecessary.
