[jira] [Commented] (LOG4NET-255) Problem with getting path to appdata with windows service in Windows XP

["Joe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15640095#comment-15640095 ] 

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"

> I've got windows service in C# which using RollingFilleAppender that logs to appdata folder. Everything works fine in Vista, W7 or 2008 server, ${APPDATA} is correctly replaced by corresponding path to app data folder. But when i run my service in  Windows XP I get following error through internal debugger. 
> log4net:ERROR [RollingFileAppender] Unable to acquire lock on file \\MyTestApp\LOG\LOG.TXT. Could not find a part of the path '\\MyTestApp\LOG'. 	
> Logger path setting from config file is below:
> <file value="${APPDATA}\\MyTestApp\\LOG\\LOG.TXT"/>
