When I start MSCEditor, I get an error

Could not write to app folder at path: "" Please report this issue

I traced the issue to utils.cpp, ln 77 if the folder exists, otherwise ln 128.

I have Windows 1803, Build 17134.590 and I mapped my documents dir to another hard drive.

When I hardcode another documents dir, the program runs just fine.

As I'm not very experienced in C++ I'm unable to solve the issue...

You have write access to the location, right?

Could also be your AV blocking write access

Hi, you were right. Apparently it was some new windows feature which blocks apps for specific folders. Thank you for your time!
