There appears to be an error in your compilation. Bytecoin Core is looking in AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin for it's data instead of AppData\Roaming\Bytecoin.
Thank you for letting me know.
I've downloaded, unzipped and run bytecoin-qt.exe in my desktop, laptop and also a fresh Windows 11 development environment in a VM; and it starts syncing with the bytecoin network fine.
I'm using Windows 11 64bit Home edition, version 23H2. I'm unable to replicate the error this end.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to trouble you for more in-depth information what's happening. Does it start syncing or just doesn't start at all? Have you tried a custom datadir path? What version of Windows are you using etc...
Classic "works on my machine" problem.
Running Windows 10 Pro, x64 ver 22H2, 32G ram lots of HD space.
Error message is displayed on startup,
Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory C:
\Users\(computer name)\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin. Bytecoin Core is probably already
running.
Have a Bitcoin Core running on that AppData directory. Current Bytecoin Core 0.8.1 is on \AppData\Roaming\Bytecoin. Copied the Bytecoin v 0.8.1 directory into C:\Program Files. Then copied over the v 27 bin to C;Program Files.
How do I get v 27 to look for it's files on \AppData\Roaming\Bytecoin?
