I use windows 7 x64 and I get issues with it placing stuff in the AppData folder even when I specify a different folder during setup. This particular "feature" was introduced in vista so
XP computers are not affected.

I have absolutely no idea what the problem is you're encountering. I have the rewrite running on windows 7 with absolutely no problems. However, any problems you encounter will have to be fixed, as you are probably not the only one to encounter them ;-)

Please see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2011-February/006688.html for an elaborate guide on what to do if you want to develop the rewrite on windows -- this should also work for normal users, but takes more effort than I think is necessary.

Anyway -- I would appreciate any information on the exact problem you have encountered!
