This error alongside with the other "System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException" occurs when you try to run XCI-explorer with a x86 (32-bit) windows. Hactool doesn't support a 32-bit system, whenever "hactool.exe -k keys.txt --section0dir=data meta" is applied in XCI-explorer under a 32-bit system, it fetched no data directory but an error.

Maybe I should compile XCI Explorer for 64-bit only.

Maybe, but I'm not sure. The "System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException" issue also appears in some 64-bit windows, as very few users reported. I'll follow up this and try to figure it out asap.

Got it. The issue comes from hactool that succeed in fetching meta but failed to create "data" folder. There are two different circumstances: First, the usage of an "improper" system (not sure if all 32-bit windows included) will cause the hactool error "hactool.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher." Secondly, the usage of some "non-english" user account like "Čeněk" (from win10) will also cause hactool error "Cannot convert "C:\Users\Čeněk" to UTF-16", which means hactool fails on user accounts with specific characters.
