user.lib file missing

Post by jpresley789 »

Hello all, I hope someone can help me with this. I cannot find the user.lib file in APCD. I have opened a course I created a few years ago to make some changes and I noticed that the user.lib file was not create in windows explorer. It should be in the APCD folder but it is not there. I am having this issue on my windows 10 laptop and a windows 7 desktop.
Anyone have seen this happen before?

Im guessing you will find it inside an APCD folder at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games
(AppData is a hidden folder)
If it is there, it was because APCD was not run as admin.
If it isnt there, make sure you check the correct APCD folder. If you have never created any custom textures or opened any course containing any custom textures within that certain copy of APCD, I believe no user.lib file gets created in the first place.

Thanks Adelade it is there. Thank you very much. I will try running as admin and see what happens.

Just ran it as admin and all is good now. Thanks again. I have been away from APCD for a long time and I must have forgot to run as admin.

Welcome back jp... Don't worry about forgetting APCD stuff. There's plenty more to forget where that came from. :whistle: :cheers1:

Thanks Dan, I may even have the courage to upload one of my courses some day. They don't compare to the fantastic works of art by some of the designers here that's for sure.
