The machine I'm installing on is joined to a domain that uses My Documents redirection. This means that my Documents folder is redirected by the OS (Vista) to a UNC path as follows:
\\OAW-Server\Users\<my account name>\My Documents\RealFlight G4\LauncherG4.ini.
As a result, when G4 Launcher is run, I get KEError 21078: Error determining path to .ini. Corrupt filename: <the path I just showed you.>
There are no invalid characters in the path. It simply redirects to a UNC share and is not stored on the local C:\ drive. 3.0 and 3.5 did not have this problem and there appears to be no workaround. The directory was in fact created successfully, but is completely empty and there's no .INI file there. Unjoining from the domain is not an option, and I believe this is a legitimate bug not caused by illegal characters - there's no reason at all why you shouldn't be able to handle this file being on a UNC share.
Looking for a workaround if you have one.
Thanks,
Andy
