I just updated to 4.4 and now cyberduck won't launch. When I double click the cyberduck.exe, my cursor spins but the app doesn't load. when I launch my process manager, I can see the application running, then it stops before the UI is loaded

Please add the file cyberduck.log in the application support directory.

the cyberduck.log file is not generated and I am not able locate the sub dir c:\users<username>\appdata\roaming\cyberduck .

I also uninstalled, rebooted, then ran the 4.4 installer again as admin.

possible causes: my userid is active directory with a roaming profile . the appdata\roaming is controlled by active directory.

why not have the user related cyberduck files be stored within the application folder or at c:\users<username>\local or c:\ProgramData ?

Such a behaviour we normally see with corrupt .NET installations. Can you try to reinstall the previous version and check if it launches?

Can you confirm that with 4.3.1 the cyberduck.log is now available? Just to make sure that your user profile is at its standard location c:\users<username>.

even though the app loads, the cyberduck folder is not found under the c:\users<username> nor is the file cyberduck.log found anywhere on the hard drive.

AppData is a hidden folder. Try to navigate to c:\users<username>. Then add \AppData in the address bar which leads to c:\users<username>\AppData and press enter. You now should see the roaming folder and you are able to navigate down to c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck that should contain the cyberduck.log.

my account is the local admin and a domain admin acct. I can see the c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming directory, but there is no cyberduck folder there.

nor is it in the folder under AppData\Local or AppData\LocalLow

There must be a Roaming folder somewhere. Try to execute the following command in a cmd window:

echo %APPDATA%

That should give you the location of your AppData/Roaming folder.

<roamingprofilenetworkpath>\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck that pointed me to the proper place.

There are no log entries indicating any issue. All entries are most probably from the previous, working version. Launch issues are very difficult to debug with .NET. I see the following possibilities:
