[Scilab-Dev] InvocationTargetException after commit a715ab13a22

[Guillaume Horel]

Well unfortunately I don't and it's causing a bug... I'm trying to
understand why it was not created. I assume there is a piece of code that
creates it at startup if the directory doesn't exist right? Can anybody
reproduce the crash at startup it if they delete their .scilab directory?

Thanks,
Guillaume
