Failure to create user data on single-users win32 systems
Hi,
There is a problem when running mixminion on single-user win32 systems. Some systems have never been setup with any accounts at all. When mixminion tries to place the user data in the expected user directory (c:\documents and settings[username]), it fails because the directory does not exist. It is customary on these systems to put the user data in the application's directory.
We have a work-around, discovered by Ed Langenback, that if you put a subdir in the mixminion dir called "~" (no quotes) it will fool mixminion into using that directory for user data. One requirement in using this is that mixminion must always be started and used from it own directory.
