Extension Manager CS4 invalid token in xmanconfig.xml

Hi,

When I try to start Extension Manager CS4 2.1 I get an error saying that there is an invalid tokenvalue in XManConfig.xml (see attached screenshot, it's in Dutch ).

The version of Extension Manager is 2.1.112.

Extension Manager is used in a network environment where Application Data is redirected to a share Appdata$ on a file server in the network. Folder redirection also is used for the Desktop and My Documents folders. They are redirected to a share called Homedir$ on a file server in the network.

The cause of this problem is the $-sign in the share name. When I rename the share to something without a $-sign all works fine. So a solution for this problem would be to rename all the shares to something without a $-sign, but that is quite a big network change for just one small application. All other applications (including CS4 applications) don't have any problems with the $-sign and redirected folders. Thereby de shares will not be hidden anymore if we rename the shares, and we want to keep the shares hidden.

Will there be a solution for this problem in an new version of Extension Manager? Is there a patch available which resolves this problem?

I also have tried to modify the xmanconfig.xml file so extensions are stored on the local hard disk of the PC and got Extension Manager working and even could install extensions. But extensions did not become available in the CS4 applications, because the CS4 applications still look in the redirected Application Data for the configuration files and extensions of the CS4 application. But the application does not find anything there because the extensions are stored elsewhere. Is there a way to tell the CS4 applications to store and look for application data on the local hard disk of the PC?
