`Could not create homepath: Unknown error` on Windows 7
Report from a private message, someone tried to run Unvanquished at school, the computer was said to be running Windows 7.
I cannot launch UNV: Could not create homepath: Unknown error
At school. Not own computer. Might be an admin restriction to avoid students to pollute the homedir.
That's why I mentioned it was at school. Though I would be surprised that the Windows My Documents path isn't writable at the same time the game was downloadable and unzipable. By default the engine writes in My Documents. I'll try to get more information.
In a school setup the user's Documents folder is often in a network filesystem so it's not that surprising that writing to it might be broken.
Of course it can be worked around by using the -homepath option.
If we could do anything to help this situation I guess it would be supporting portable installations.
