I "think" the "%homepath%" is meant to be YOUR name. On my Vista it is
C:\User\
(my name)\AppData\Local\fpdp
But, fpdb NEVER seems to access the files there. It only accesses my files under c:\Program Files\ Fpdb\pyfpdb
I am running Vista Home Premium and having very little problems. It does "lock" my poker screen about once a week. I play every day, so it may have nothing to do with fpdb. It seems that when some other program (MS update, Virus updates etc) kicks in, it's just too much. But closing the program releases my poker tables immediately. Open it again and fine for days.
========== Post #2 "Outburst"
Regarding the "outburst"... felt the same way for over a month before getting mine working last year. Now, it seems stable on my Vista system... as stable as anything can be on Vista. And I applaud your apology, very mature.
IMHO, as Sorrow touched on, is a complete installer for Window's Vista. I can see why it is on the back burner for now. One, lack of anyone willing to wrestle with Vista... and now Vista 7 would change that all again.... sigh.
The other point, albeit not every week, is that fact that FPDB is still in a constant state of flux. As quick as they would make an installer, things change.. Plus with options such as Postgres or MySql, another variable. Additionally, in trying to accommodate everyone's requests, the Hud_config.xml file is constantly being improved. I get tired just thinking and typing all the variables... and they keep varying..
I concur with other posters. This is more a product of love by poker players, for poker players. Anyone that wants a ready-made product with little (maybe) problems, should do PokerTracker or HEM. If you want something for free, there is a "price". The price is patience or in my case perseverance. If I put up with my ex-wife for 9 years, this is a piece of cake. I use her picture as my avatar...
Good luck, I hope you decide to hang around, fight through the issues and get it running. I love mine. Yes, there are things I don't like, but little by little I've learned (not a coder here) to fix even little code issues.
