After updating to 8.2 from 8.1 I can no longer start the Bitcoin-qt client. It always "quits unexpectedly". I tried un installing and re installing several times and with a couple of the past versions. When I tried 7.2 I could get the client to launch and the ctransactions all matched, however, I tried looking for the /Application Support/Bitcoin/ folder, and it's still missing. It seems like something is preventing the directory from being created during install..? I have my back up wallet.dat file else where and I did trying moving around but nothing seems to work.
Client failure to launch. /Library/Application Support/Bitcoin does not exist #2719

while trying to fix my issue with installing 8.2 i noticed my 8.1 had been locked down and that while bitcoin was in its default location, the database and logs and such are in the user /C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin but i still have been unable to get 8.2 to work due to lock down of 8.1 and so far no answer on issue 2707 if i uninstall 8.1 if the database and wallet will be lost or not ---but look in that location and i believe you will find what your looking for but that it may be locked down as well---
does anyone know why these files have been locked?

@jafoal i just found a fix for my issue by downloading the zip version of the 8.2 client upgrade and it worked without any errors or issues and loaded with no problems. so if you installed using the exe version , try using the zip version. Hope this helps you out.

Is this still an issue with 0.8.5?
