Thank you (I was hoping that the fact that the AppData folder was left empty might be an easy explaination for other issues - namely not being able to get part 4 of tutorial to function - but at least, with your help, I can look for other reasons).
I'm looking for some help from someone who knows the Music Store tutorial particularly well. Your answer suggests you might. Perhaps you could help me on the larger issue in my other posts.
Turned out to be EF not installed (which I never expected, for one reason, it was working at one point creating POCO elements - not sure how that would have uninstalled itself over time, but whatever - I have spent an inordinate amount of time on this so
I'm glad to be moving forward.)
Thanks for offer for additional help.

Music Store Tutorial - Part 4: AppData folder
Jul 15, 2012 01:31 PM|LINK
Looking for possible reasons I'm having difficulty at step 4 of Music Store tutorial...
The Music Store tutorial had me add AppData folder, but did not indicate adding anything to the AppData folder. Is this as it should be?

the appdata folder won't be used in many project but to give you an example of use...
you might be able to put a database in the appdata folder :)
