I thought that might be what you meant, but there's nothing there. on OSX and Linux: > .winswitch/ A gzipped copy of that directory, which includes a few log files, is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wog3aqyn2epn5z1/winswitch.tar.gz I noticed a few references to a VirtualBox virtual machine that I have installed (although I never told Windows-Switch about it, nor was the VM running at any point during or after the installation). I wonder if that could be causing some trouble. Could connected VNC sessions be messing with the installation? I also saw a reference to that. Let me know where the right place would be to file a ticket if neither you nor anybody else on this thread can help with the log/config files. Thank you yet again!
