I finally messed everything up.

My workstation is connected to our intranet.
My sketchup files are stored on a NAS.

Our network-specialist opened a new user account and connected it to the intranet.
He used a special program to migrate SU pro 2024 to the new user and SU seemed to be working.
Later we deleted the old username.

A time later malfunction started and increased.
I tried some repair installations solved some problems, but couldn’t get it to work properly.
Using templates became impossible, SU was unable to connect to the template path.

Today I deleted SU pro 2024 and tried a complete new setup (SU deleted and admin setup). The setup stopped because of not existing files.
(See the picture), must be the templates file on the no longer existing path. How the hell does SU know about that?

My classic version of SU pro 2021 still works but - as we forgot to migrate it to the new User before - there is the same trouble with the path to the template folder.

Don't worry, be happy!

The file: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\SketchUp\SketchUp 20nn\SketchUp\PrivatePreferences.json
Contains the fixed path to your Templates folder, under:
"File Locations": {
...
"Templates": "C:\\Users\\YOURNAME\\AppData\\Roaming\\SketchUp\\SketchUp 20nn\\SketchUp\\Templates\\",
...
}
Note you need to use the correct user-name and SketchUp version in lieu of 20nn.
If you edit that with the right name while SketchUp is closed does that improve things ??
Changing a user-name does not change the underlying original user-name, and if that's happened it could confuse SketchUp when it's setting these fixed paths...
If that's not fixed SketchUp might still try to reset this preferences file to what it thinks is the correct path !
