rekordbox can not create the analysis file in the folder you specified in the preferences
So i've just bought a new PC, and am in the process of shifting all my music etc. over from my old (desktop) PC to the new one.
As per all the advice, I backed up my Rekordbox file using the 'File --> Library --> Backup Library' function on my old computer. I've then 'restored' that library on my new PC.
Everything going OK so far... I had to relocate most of my tunes, due to a slightly different filepath on my new PC, but that was sorted quickly.
The only issue i'm now having, is that I keep getting the above error message every time I try to load a track into the Rekordbox player, or try to use the 'analyse track' function.
I'm assuming the problem lies in that the "PIONEER" folder where analysis files are saved / created doesn't exist (it seems to have imported the filepath from my old PC). Thing is, I can't see how I can change this so that it looks at the right folder on my new PC.
Grateful for any advice.

Anyone out there who can help with this?
.... anyone?
Same issue here. My analysis folder in preferences points to a different user account, but cant figure out how to change it; Found solutions for mac, nothing for windows.
I've emailed pioneer directly about this. They're going to provide details on how to fix.
I'll post up their reply. :-)

With rekordbox closed...
- Open the Explorer
- Click View and tick the Hidden Files under Show/Hide
- Navigate to: C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox and open the file rekordbox3.settings (if it asks you which application to use, select the Notepad)
- Find the line: VALUE name="pioneerDirectory"
Make sure the value in that line is the same as the location you found the file -- please note that the backslashes SHOULD BE forward-slashes! Example, mine is shown as
Save the change, load rekordbox and see if it complains again.
