Nmap Development: Error Creating the per-user configuration directory

["Bernard Luksich" <bernard_luksich () compuserve com>]

This is a new one for us and we did not see anything in your list of bugs or
messages.  

 

We had used your software on this machine before with no problems.  So we
decided to get the latest version 4.76.  We uninstalled the previous version
and downloaded nmap-4.76-setup.exe.  

 

The install proceeded normally but when we go to run the program we get this
message.  Specifically it is trying to create the directory on drive "H:"
which does not exist so it is failing.  

 

Where did it get the idea to install on an "H:" drive?  We can find no
documentation on where this bogus information is kept or is coming from.  

 

Any ideas are helpful.

 

This is Windows/XP Professional with all the service packs and updates
installed. 

 

More specifics, the error claims it is trying to create
"H:\users\bernie\.zenmap" and that it can not find the path specified
u'H:\\' notice the letter "u" in front there.

 

Thanks again for the help.
