    After a fresh installation of QT5 the application is throwing some errors saying it cant create the .xml files because it cant find the specified path.
    The folder is present and you can see that its creating those files with some random hash at the end.
    The Roaming Folder is roamed to some fileserver so its not C:\User\Appdata but \Servername\User\Appdata - is this the problem?
    Running without errors using the local administrator account which has no roamed userprofile.

      Is there a way to have it point to another folder instead of AppData\Roaming? I know how to change the project path in "Run and execute" but that doesnt seemto have effect.

      Try to start it with -settingspath parameter and specify a different location.

        Purely, purely at a guess: make sure the process has permission to rename files in that folder to the target name? Guessing that it wants to rename the hash files to the target file at the end.

            Probably. Does any other application have issues with \Servername\User\Appdata?
            You could file a bug on Qt bug tracker.
