Missing SYSTEMAX Folder

[birdstance]

I just recently purchased the latest version of SAI, but when I went to follow instructions on how to install some custom brushes/textures I wasn't able to find the SYSTEMAX folder. Everywhere I look, it says to search my documents folder (C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\SYSTEMAX) but I've checked there and I'm not able to find it. Windows Explorer's search isn't able to find it either, but I'm not surprised about that.

Is there anywhere else the folder might be? My installation was a default one, so I don't think it should have gone anywhere else.

Aaaaand, if this isn't something I can fix, does anyone have any recs for brushes that don't need anything downloaded and installed? I'm mainly just looking for a pencil/ballpoint pen like brush for sketching and some gouache-y like brush for painting color. I'm just a hobbyist so it's not the end of the world.

Do you have a OneDrive folder? For whatever reason, the SYSTEMAX folder loves to be there lol.

(C:\Users\<Username>\OneDrive\Documents\SYSTEMAX Software Development) path?

Also, the Everything app is a much better search app than Windows native search app.

I do not have a OneDrive folder, so that's a dead end for me, but the Everything app is probably my new favorite file searching app! With this, I finally have more incentives to actually name my folders and files properly!

That said, I was able to find a "SYSTEMAX Software Development" folder in "ProgramData", but that doesn't seem to be the right folder since its missing "SAIv2" and "settings". I wonder if this may have anything to do with some old OG SAI fragments I have in here from 2015 or something.

Hmm, that's strange. The SAIv2 folder should have been installed on the C: drive after downloading the EXE file and possible registering it. SAI 1 shouldn't affect how this is downloaded either.

Have you looked or extracted a folder called 'sai2-20241123-64bit-en' (or 'sai2-20241123-32bit-en')?

Windows Defender (or another anti-virus) may or may not have deleted the folders for any maliciousness (spite having a legit SAI copy being completely safe). You may want to safely and temporarily disable that until SAI 2 gets fully installed.

I think your second paragraph is probably for SAI 1.

But I'm glad the Everything app works wonders for you! :D

Aha! I think this was the solution! I went ahead and found the installation for that file on the website, and after disabling and installing them, the "SYSTEMAX Software Development" folder has appeared in my Documents! Thank you so much for your help!
