Running deluge daemon as a not logged in user via runas or as a service.

[mindthemonkey]

The %APPDATA% environment variable referenced in deluge/common.py on line 149 and line 151 is not available when running a process via the "runas" command or running deluged as a service using the "srvany.exe" windows resource kit tool to setup a process as a service.

The following error occurs:

[ERROR ] 21:59:59 init__:1080 object of type 'NoneType?' has no len() Traceback (most recent call last): File "deluge\main.py", line 214, in start_daemon File "deluge\core\daemon.py", line 52, in init File "deluge\configmanager.py", line 130, in get_config_dir File "deluge\configmanager.py", line 93, in get_config_dir File "deluge\configmanager.py", line 51, in config_directory File "deluge\common.py", line 151, in get_default_config_dir File "ntpath.py", line 96, in join TypeError?: object of type 'NoneType?' has no len()

The issues is detailed for another language here:  http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vc.language/browse_thread/thread/9ccb4cfcae91a197?fwc=1

And a suggestion to pull the same variable from the registry is detailed which can be achieved with the attached python snippet
