Can’t create any new project in Water, the project type or language doesn’t seem to matter - the message is always the same:

There isnt’t even a directory “RemObjects Software” within my Documents-folder.

"C:\Users\txxx.kxxxxx\ is a valid path? Is this for any template pram specific one? At which step of the process does this happen – after licking the template, after clicking OK, or after choosing the destination folder?

It’s a valid path - i crossed out my name before posting only.

The message is shown, after selecting any item from the menu displayed by the “Start a New Project…” button form the “Welcome-Page” of Water.

If i select “More templates…” and try to create a project from here (any language, any template), the call-stack shown after hitting “OK” gets longer

Ah yes, I can see why this would happen and how to fix it. surprised this hasn’t hit anyone else before.

Workaround: manually create that folder.
