Nero crashes after failing to find path to /Local Settings/Application Data #112

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Running OpenNero.exe (Windows XP, sp3, *not* english version)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I got 'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
windows XP, sp3, polish

Please provide any additional information below.

Before crash nero tries to access "D:\Documents and Settings\myUserName\Local 
Settings\Application Data\OpenNERO " which fails, because there's no 'Local 
Settings' folder (name on my system is localized, I found this problem using 
procMon). Manualy creating directory structure fixes the problem and nero runs 
correctly.

OpenNero version - OpenNERO-2011.12.02-win32.zip,
Proper local settings folder path : "D:\Documents and 
Settings\myUserName\Ustawienia lokalne\Dane aplikacji" - but that shouldn't 
matter, probably app should query system for it.

wow, i didn't realize until now that getting the user's home directory could be 
so convoluted:

I think we need a simpler place to put the opennero logs - do you have 
suggestions?

I think better error message is important because problem is easy to solve, 
once You know why it crashed/terminated.
 I am not sure if there exists good solution to getting writeable directory problem on windows, maybe logs can be put in the same directory openNero.exe is or some subdirectory.
