Problem with codeblocks user settings path
jahurtado:
When I run Codeblocks I receive this message:
'%USERPROFILE%/.Codeblocks' couldn't be created (error 3: ...)
I try to create this path manually but still the same message.
OS: Windows XP with SP2
I test codeblocks on another cumputer without SP2 and work fine.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Some Questions
- Do you log in with a limited account?
- Please open a DOS (command prompt) window and type "SET". Look for the 'USERPROFILE' environment variable. Is it set? (it SHOULD be!)
- Have you set any kind of SW restrictions, antivirus, etc that could make CB misbehave? Do you have the "data flag" set in your windows?

1. It s not a limited account.
2. Yes, user profile has properly setted.
3. Data flag? ...
Well, this computer doesn't not have any restrictions (I use an Administrator account). Even I could create that directory with:
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%"\.CodeBlocks
(quotes are needed)
Other applications (such gimp) can create their user directories on %USERPROFILE% without problems (even beginning with a dot character).
Is posible that the problem be that %USERPROFILE% doesn't place between quotes?
Thanks

That's strange. You 're the first person to report something like it, and I use C::B daily (of course ;) ) in XP SP2 machines...
Yiannis.

Ok, I soved it, Some environment vars (a variable %HOME% that I was setted) caused the problem.
It's seems that if a HOME environment var is defined, it's used instead of USERPROFILE.
Thanks
