Federico Thanks. I will download the Nightly build Cheers Roger |

I tried the nightly build arduino-nightly http://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-nightly-windows.zip But it still seems to create the folder in %appdata% i.e Appdata roaming. Should the fix be in the nightly build ? |

It will not be available in the nightly build until its merged. You can clone ffissore:windows-appdata and build it or download one of the archives listed above in @ArduinoBot's message. |

Thanks Chris The location is not my only worry, so I will wait until its in a nightly build |

Component: IDE
…duino15. Migration occurs when NO preferences file location is provided (CLI only), when new location does not exist and when there is something to migrate. Fixes #2902

This PR aims at solving the long debate that took place on the developers mailing list about the location of cores/tools installed through Boards Manager. On windows it was
Roaming\Arduino15, which breaks Microsoft rules and causes troubles to who actually like own profile to roam between different computersNew location is
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Arduino15When no custom preferences file location is specified (via CLI) and if the IDE finds something in
%APPDATA%\Arduino15and no%LOCALAPPDATA%\Arduino15is present, IDE prefs files will be moved. Nothing will happen otherwise.Fixes #2902
