Japo,
A quick guess but with the %localappdata% environmental variable under Vista linking to a machine only application configuration storage and %appdata% links to roaming storage the designers did not want the DosBox configuration being copied to a corporation server if installed on a work machine.
Probably a good decision that will keep some people out of trouble.

It was about time DOSBox installed by default could be used without admin rights. I just wonder why they chose to store the profile in %localappdata& instead of %appdata%?
