After looking into the issue further, I found the help browser also failing, with the following error report:

couldn't read directory "C:/Users/rga/Application Data/*": permission denied
couldn't read directory "C:/Users/rga/Application Data/*": permission denied
    while executing
"glob -nocomplain -type d -path $dir "*""
    (procedure "build_references" line 15)
    invoked from within
"build_references"
    (procedure "::helpbrowser::open_helpbrowser" line 19)
    invoked from within
"::helpbrowser::open_helpbrowser"
    (procedure "menu_helpbrowser" line 2)
    invoked from within
"menu_helpbrowser"
    (menu invoke)
-------------------------------------

I got the help browser working an

I was able to fix a permissions error in the HomeUsers group that got rid of the the help browser error, and the read plugins folder error I mentioned previously:

Cannot read plugins folder: 'C:/Users/rga/Application Data/'

But, Pd is still not loading the Modal_Object_Library if I place it in C:/Users/rga/AppData/Roaming/Pd

Hi all, and thanks for the great work on Pd 0.43.4 !

I'm somewhat new to Pd, and am still learning how to get around, but I'm having a problem which I've seen mentioned by others, so I thought I'd report the issue.

After installing 0.43.4 using the Windows installer, and launching Pd, I see the following error in the log window (log level 4):

Cannot read plugins folder: 'D:/Program Files (x86)/pd/%SystemRoot%/Fonts'
Cannot read plugins folder: 'C:/Users/rga/Application Data/'

I have confirmed that the Windows 'junction' that redirects /Application Data/ references to c:/Users/rga/AppData/Roaming/ is present and seems to be working normally.

I understand that to add a library on load, I should be able to drop it into /AppData/Roaming/Pd, where it should be found and loaded. This is not working.

I did create a directory /AppData/Roaming/Pd, but that didn't help.

Until this is fixed, can I load a library, in particular Model_Object_Library, in another way, or manually ?

By the way, this problem was encountered by a more knowledgeable user regarding 0.43.1 Pd-extended back in April of 2012:

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks !
