build/depends.py hard-codes our settings path to "Local Settings/Application Data/Mixxx/" for Windows, and presumably %USERPROFILE% gets appended to it somewhere. This is correct for Windows versions pre-7, but this path has moved to %LOCALAPPDATA% (aka %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local) for Windows 7 (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378457(VS.85).aspx and search FOLDERID_LocalAppData).

I guess the solution is to use %LOCALAPPDATA% if it's populated and use what we use now otherwise.

This is a bug because mixxx ends up creating a %USERPROFILE%/local settings/... folder for win7 users that's likely unhidden (and therefore clutters up the user's home directory) and isn't obviously necessary to back-up when everything else stores its stuff in the proper paths.
