Joe commented on LOG4NET-255:
-----------------------------
If an application is running under an account without a profile, then there
won't be a SpecialFolders.ApplicationData folder, so presumably the APPDATA
environment variable won't be defined.
Windows services and IIS applications often run under such accounts.
I'd say that's almost certainly what's happening here - probably should be
closed as "Not a bug"
