Quote - We may agree or disagree with Microsoft's decisions as much as we want, at the end of the day, software that runs on Windows has to play by Windows' rules or it risks breaking with OS updates. In my experience, when you try to fight the OS, the OS almost always wins.

Ain't that the truth! Unless you run it on Linux... ;) Yet is just seems to be totally bass-ackwards for a rendering app to be at the mercy of a user's profile... if the profile gets corrupted you lose all your work... and mixing appdata with user space data is less than optimal.

 

In any case I'm giving up on what apparently is a quixotic adventure...

 

thanks for the comments...
