"Error getting Porcessing datafolder."
Jun 7th, 2007, 5:37pm  
Hello!

I wasn't really sure where to put this but I believe this is the best place.

Ever since I re-installed Windows Vista I've been having the problem where both Processing and Arduino framework won't open, giving the following error everytime I try to open it:

"Error getting the Processing/Arduino data folder."

I've been looking for more people with this problem and I've found no one. I don't have any strange specific configuration in this install from the previous one! I've installed the newer version of Java Plataform and everything but it gives me the same error!

I don't know if this helps but I've got an image of the output of the program on the error:

I know there's something conflicting but I don't understand where..

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am having a similar Vista problem. Only the warning message is different.
Title: "Setting Issues"
Waring Message: "Processing cannot run because it could not create a folder to store your settings."

can you file this in the bugs db?

i don't have a copy of windows vista so i can't debug it yet, but it looks like microsoft changed how the documents folders and all that are stored.
