Hi I have just installed VS2005 and the first thing I did was to try out the
new Screensaver sample. that wouldn't work it just crashed all the time.
After a little monking around i found out that it was the application
settings that just didn't work. It trowed an exception:
System.InvalidOperationException
with an innerexception of "{"Configuration system failed to initialize"}"
(with:) {"An error occurred loading a configuration file: Could not find a
part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\<MY
USERNAME>\tstScreenSaver1.vshost.ex_Url_0myugwc0sn0h1p1cupnb2ay0ywdyyuft\1.0.0.0\user.config'.
(C:\Documents and Settings\<MY USERNAME>\Application
Data\...\tstScreenSaver1.vshost.ex_Url_0myugwc0sn0h1p1cupnb2ay0ywdyyuft\1.0.0.0\user.config)"}
And if I check the   system.Windows.Forms.Application.LocalUserAppDataPath
I see that it points to :C:\Documents and Settings\<MY USERNAME>\Local
Settings\Application Data\...\tstScreenSaver1\1.0.0.0

I don't know where the ... come from I guess it's why it wasn't able to find
the folder?

I can recreate this if I create another project and add a Application
setting

I even tried a repair on the visual studio installation but with no change.

Anyone got a good suggestion?
