BUG
In ArcPad 10.0 SP2, some users experience a fatal application error immediately on startup.
This behavior does not occur when ArcPad is installed on a Windows Mobile device. On desktop machines, the behavior only occurs when the user's My Documents folder is mapped to a UNC path. For example, storing My Documents at '\\localhost\documents' would cause a crash, but referring to the same location as the 'Z:\' drive enables ArcPad to behave normally.
Note:
Alternatively, rolling back to ArcPad 10.0 SP1 also resolves the issue.
Note:
It is necessary to use the new mapped drive as the location of My Documents.
