When I click the "Install" button on the "About" page, I get this error:

Script could not be installed [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIChannel.open]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://greasemonkey/content/utils.js :: getContents :: line 242" data: no]

I'm using Firefox 3.6.12 and Greasemonkey 0.8.20100408.6 on 64-bit Windows 7 Home.

Am I the only one having this problem?

Discovered that I only had this trouble on one machine, so I did some further digging and ended up finding the answer.

In case anyone else runs into the same issue, here's the answer:

For those running Windows7 (and I assume Vista, as well), you have to look in c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\...etc. AppData is a hidden folder, for those who don't already know...</username>
