TIME FOR A BUMP!
Ladies and gentlemen, I received information from Pelip that the UserPath module within the package did not function on some PCs.
Given the error, it appeared that their systems did not contain a registry entry for the Application Path that has been common from Windows XP through to Windows 8.1. And on doing a search online, it appears that my system wasn't alone in this. The issue appears to be a Windows 10 issue.
As such, research was made to identify the newer registry path and entry which would be acceptable to Windows 10 users, a path that likewise does appear within the Windows 8.1 registry. This new path has been added to the UserPath system.
This does not mean the older Registry path was removed. On the contrary, that would ignore the usefulness of the older Registry path for PCs using earlier versions of Windows. Both systems work in tandem. As such, if one path was not detected, UserPath would look for the second in its place.
In the unexpected event that neither these nor the documents folder locations are detected, measures have been put into place to avoid errors. However, this would mean that it may fall back upon the root folder holding both game saves as well as the configuration file. Still, this should be considered a rarity.
And because of the detection, Pelip (or Andrea87Sky of RPGMakerWeb.com) is now in the credits as a betatester for my UserPath system.
