PPCKitchen Build.os help please.

[JDub0820]

I will try to explain everything without being too long...a couple months ago (with my Mogul) I was using PPC kitchen and was doing fine until I tried adding some OEM's in. Somehow I messed things up and made the program unusable on my machine. It would error out everytime during the build, so I tried reinstalling and for some reason even though everything (at least everything that I knew of) was deleted off my machine, the program still tries to locate those User_Oem's that I added, but they aren't there. I am trying to get this program running so I can flash my TP...can anyone help me get rid of these? As far as I am aware they are not on my computer anywhere, and with a fresh install the only thing I can think is the possibility that I am missing a file that needed to be deleted because even with a totally different device it still errors out because it tries to find those old OEM's. And I am not using an old "selections.txt" either, I started fresh with everything, or so I thought???

No, it's the operating system playing games with you. We've seen the issue before, where deleted files seemingly aren't really deleted. This mainly happens on x64 systems. Are you on an x64 system?

no actually I am running Vista 32 bit.

Are you running BuildOS as an administrator?

Try looking in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\

In that folder you will find a \Local\ \LocalLow\ and \Roaming. Scour those 3 folders to see if you find any remnants. This is where Vista virtualizes files for use w/in the UAC system.

Vista has a Virtual location for software due to UAC as noted before. The actual location is most likely...
C:\Users\<profile name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\PPCkitchen.org\BuildOS\Kitchens
(if you are looking in 32 bit version remove the (x86) from Program Files dir name)
