The portable.ini.template says "Leave blank to use the system "TMP" and the "AppData" user profile folder."
but doing so results in the error:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
I want to use the %temp% and %appdata% of the logged on user.
Not using the installer version since I don't want desktop and startmenu icons (distribution system will create those) and I don't want the update check for our users.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Dump the directory as "c:\Program Files\Handbrake" on an UAC enabled Windows 10 (build 1809)
Use these settings in portable.ini:
******
Storage.dir =
tmp.dir =
update.check = false
******
or
******
#Storage.dir =
#tmp.dir =
update.check = false
******
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.2.2
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10 build 1809 (build 17763.439)
HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)
Log is not created since Handbrake can't create the dir.
