Thanks for all the work on arrow! I'm on windows and when running the following: ```python from datetime import datetime import pyarrow.compute as pc pc.strftime(datetime(2004, 8, 1)) ``` I get the following error: > ```cmd > ArrowInvalid: Cannot locate timezone 'UTC': Timezone database not found at "D:\Users\Hoek\Downloads\tzdata" > ``` Observe, that the error path refers to `D:`. But in OP the following is mentioned: > The timezone DB is required to be at %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\tzdata in pyarrow on windows. But if I check: ```python ! echo %USERPROFILE% ``` > ```cmd > C:\Users\Hoek > ``` and ```python from pathlib import Path Path.home() ``` > ```cmd > WindowsPath('C:/Users/Hoek') > ``` It is both linking to `C:`. How you know it is on `D:`? `D:` is right though.. There is no `Downloads` folder for me on `C:\Users\Hoek` (therefor https://stackoverflow.com/a/74292266/2459096 errored) I assume it is just early days and this user experience will improve soon.
