I pushed a few changes which improve the error reporting slightly.
By that, I
  mean there should no longer be the "Success" which obviously isn't.

Ok

  I suspect that the problem that these widnows users have encountered is that
  the C:\USers\xxx\My Documents\ directory does not actually exist although they
  believe that it does.

I don't think this is the problem yet. The reporter only used
"Documents". That shouldn't be a problem.


  One cannot trust the "windows explorer" in these cases.

:-) Not only the explorer

  Those "special directories" appear to exist in the windows explorer, whereas
  they actually have another pathname in the filesystem.
  I'd like somebody to actually confirm the existance of the directory
using the
  windows
  shell, but I don't know if any of the users who reported this error actually
  know how to do this.

Hmmm. And they are language dependent. But on my clean MSWindows7
installation I don't have a "My Documents" folder. However from a
command shell I can use
 cd "my documents"
and the prompt suggest that I indeed inside "My documents" however I
can write files, get no error and the files are not created! It looks
like a  null directory.
I haven't seen this behaviour before.

"Documents" is no problem. And as I already said the users didn't use
"My Documents" but "Documents".

However the user reported:
  Creating temporary file resulted in error  (file name): No such file
or directory.

This might be an issue with a non existing, full temp directory or
insufficient rights.


Have fun
