Animate CC Commands folder location?

I'm attempting to install a set of JSFL scripts to use as commands. The only commands folder I've been able to locate on my Windows 10 machine is here:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate CC 2017\Common\First Run\Commands

I copied the JSFL scripts into that folder, but they don't show up in the Commands menu in Flash. I need them to, in order to allow them to be matched with a hotkey and used in my workflow. Any reason this might not be working? Is there a different location I should be using?

      AppData is an invisible folder, you need to type the path into the file explorer path to get into the folder.

      To add your jsfl files as commands under Commands menu in Animate CC, follow these steps (for Animate CC 2015.2):

      1. Close Animate CC if it is running.

      2. Copy your jsfl files at following location:

      On win : C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC 2015.2\<your locale>\Configuration\Commands\

      On Mac: /Users/<Username>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Animate\ CC\ 2015.2/<your locale>/Configuration/Commands\

      3. Start Animate CC and check commands menu.

      You don't have to restart Animate to add JSFL commands. It automatically detects new commands on the fly.

        I've tried this and successfully got the items in my command window but I am unable to execute the command.

        It says: runscript error: invalid argument number 1.

         

        Can anyone help?

          For whatever reason this folder does not exist: there is no AppData in my username folder. I have the most recent version of Animate CC - is there some kind of change in the latest version?
