I downloaded the SDK, opened the project in VS 2012. Built the solution. Setup .splunkrc. None of the examples work. Many of the Unit Tests fail. Where is the proper place to get help on this?

The issue was related to HOMEDRIVE environment variable mapped to a remote machine. A workaround, in this case, is to create a new env variable (and use it in the Command.Splunkrc()that points to local C:\ and put the .splunkrc in this new location.

Another option is to modify Command.cs to the following:

//  const string ToExpand = "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%";

const string ToExpand = "%LOCALAPPDATA%";
</code></pre>

This will look for the file in the c:\users\myuserid\AppData\Local directory.
