Userdata Folder is missing. please help - boddah - 2012-04-04
Switching from Ubuntu to a computer with windows vista. XBMC runs great, but in Users "Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\...." i have no xbmc folder, and thus... no userdata folder. There is a folder called "Media Center Programs" but it is empty. do i need to enable something for xbmc to create me a userdata folder?
And yes, i already enabled viewing hidden files because that was required to see the AppData folder.
please help

Have you launched XBMC yet? It doesn't get created until you launch XBMC.
Edit: I'm an idiot. I see that you said it runs great.
Type %AppData% in your windows explorer bar and see where it opens.

Type %AppData%\XBMC\ then.
I only suggest in case your system variables have been changed and you're pointing to a different directory.
Or perform a system wide file search for xbmc.log - it's always in the XBMC folder created in %AppData%
