v4.10.0.6: Grid servers do not build if Visual Studio Build Tools are installed only (+workaround)

Hi,

because we're using just the Visual Studio Build Tools on our grid nodes instead of a full Visual Studio installation the grid nodes start reporting with v4.10.0.6 a missing path:

A part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio' could not be found.

While connections to the grid nodes could be established the nodes do not start processing anything.

Workaround
After creating the reported folder manually on the nodes and restarting them (e.g. by clicking the "Restart service" button on NCrunch's "Distributed Processing" tool window) the nodes process normally again.

I hope you can fix this issue with one of your next updates. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Thomas

Same happens with NCrunch Console v4.10.0.6 on our build server (also only Visual Studio Build Tools installed).

Same error:

A part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio' could not be found.

Same workaround. Just as additional information.

Best regards,
Thomas

Thanks! We're aware of this issue and have a fix pending in the upcoming 4.11 build. We're just waiting to make sure we don't need to push anything else with it. Creating the directories does indeed permit a workaround for this problem.
