Failing to Create Data Directory in Debug Builds

[TheTedder]

Thank you to @ReneeJunior03 for helping to identify this issue.

Expected Behavior

The data directory is created the first time the game is launched with the plugin loaded.

Observed Behavior

The data directory is not created and the plugin fails to load.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install RE Framework version v1.5.9.1 to a compatible game.
2. Launch the game and quit once.
3. Install a debug interim build of REFix (can be downloaded from Remove Input Scaling #56).
4. Launch the game.

Notes

This bug is possibly due to Windows' User Account Control system preventing a directory being created under program files. Why this isn't a problem with release builds is unclear. On at least one machine with UAC disabled, this bug is not present.

Hello, trying to help to test the debug build.
Using the build you linked here #56 (comment)
and 1.5.9.1 version of REFramework, also have UAC disabled.
The plugin still fails to load as indicated in the REFramework UI.

Thanks for testing it. Can you do two things for me to help me gather more information:

1. Tell me the value of the EnableLUA registry key located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
2. Upload your RE Framework log file.

It seems that the error happens before the plugin even attempts to create the data directory, as evidenced by it failing to load before it gets a chance to write any log messages based on @ReneeJunior03's logs.

This could be related to Windows' habit of redirecting reads/writes to appdata. Further testing is required to confirm.
