Visual Studio 2.0 startup error
So today at startup, I saw this error at startup of Visual Studio 2.0: “The application data folder for visual studio could not be created”. The message had an OK button. I clicked the OK button (this is certainly NOT OK)- and then the dialog box disappeared and went away. Visual Studio did not startup. Huh? WTF? What application data folder are you talking about?
As usual, Microsoft’s error message is of no help. I googled the message- and found that the key to this problem is by changing the following registry key entry (like some everyday user’s going to be able to find this)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
After I set this folder to my local drive/path, Visual Studio started. Thanks Mr. Google.
