@tims Do you have any idea what directory it defaulted to for you? It should be trying to put it in your Desktop.

Also was this with the training laptops or your own machine? Most importantly did you use the all-in-one .exe installer or the conda installer like the training laptops use.

This will be fixed in the next version. The issue was related to active directory roaming profiles which you typically see in organization computer systems (like SSEC). This means a user's settings and documents are actually stored on network storage. In the SSEC case this means your user directory is something like "\\beans\users$\\data". In SIFT I was using the environment variable "%USERPROFILE%" to get the location of the user directory which is normally "C:\Users\\". It was set to this location even on the domain accounts.

To fix this I used a non-public function in the appdirs package to get the "CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY" path from the Windows system (registry maybe?) which gives the expected path for local and roaming user profiles.
