"Unable to run package setup."

#1

Ok, so here’s what I did. I have ST2 installed portably in Dropbox. I was going to move to installing it natively, then using a symlink to the Packages folder which I was going to keep in Dropbox. So, I copied my current Packages folder into another directory (In case something went wrong.) I then installed ST2 natively, and noticed there was no Packages folder in program files, so I made a symlink with ‘mklink /D’ pointing Packages to Dropbox\Packages.

Now, I get an error when launching the installed ST2. I’ve since deleted the symlink, and uninstalled and re-installed but nothing is fixing this error:

OK

Is there a registry key I need to delete somewhere to get this sorted out? What is it trying to do? This is a fresh install, why is it looking for that directory? I assume something went wrong when I linked my existing Packages folder. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Figures. I fixed it, turns out I had an empty Data folder. I guess if it sees a Data folder it assumes packages will be in there? Anyways… sorry for this useless thread :smile:
