Hi,
I'm trying to use Stencyl on a school network and I'm finding some similar issues. As well as the work directory issue, non-privileged users can't compile unless they are allowed full access to c:/ProgramData and are allowed to issue commands at Command Line level. (By default neither of these is true in our network.) I'm negotiating with our System Manager about this, but any suggestions would be welcome.
On the subject of the working directory, I notice that in the C:\ProgramFiles\Stencyl\prefs folder there is an empty file called default.prefs. Does anyone know what this does? I was hoping that you could put a default commands in there, such as global.workdir=N:\Stencyl and this might then work as the default for all users, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Love to hear if anyone makes any progress.
