Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If the installation was run with elevated rights using a different account then the required folders will be in the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\ folder of the account that was used for elevation and will not be accessible under the account that the application is normally run under.
A reinstall starting from Pre is recommended although it should be possible to copy the required folders from the account used for elevation to the account that the application is used under.
