Local State file issue

[pdwiki]

Hi,

I formatted my computer yesterday and restored my chromium code etc. on it today and built it using VS 2010 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. The compilation worked fine but Chrome crashed when I double clicked on the exe file. Upon looking into it, I found that the 'Local State' file was not created in the C:\Users\USER 4\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data folder. I copied a backed up 'Local State' file and Chrome worked perfectly. The following code was present in my 'Local State':

{
   "profile": {
      "info_cache": {
         "Default": {
            "avatar_icon": "chrome://theme/IDR_PROFILE_AVATAR_0",
            "name": "First user"
         },
         "profile_45": {
            "avatar_icon": "chrome://theme/IDR_PROFILE_AVATAR_25",
            "name": "User 1"
         }
      }
   }
}

Now I am wondering why this problem did not happen the very first time I compiled Chrome? Is there a way to fix this without manually copying the Local State file?

Thanks in advance.

Well, since I am on an older build would it be right to file a bug report? I am using developer build 97580. Before anyone says that the newer version has this issue fixed I would like to repeat one thing again - I never faced this issue when I complied this same build 3-4 times before on different computers. But the last time I backed up the code, I created a lot of profiles through the settings page and deleted a lot of them too. This was my first time building it on a clean OS following that action. So, I do not know if these 2 issues are related or not.

It still works fine on another computer which has that same build running for a while.

That's from literally a year ago, so unless you can reproduce this on
something even remotely current, there's probably no point filing a
bug, no.

Yeah, I thought so too that posting a bug report will not be very helpful. So, how do I go about fixing this? When the browser runs for the first time is it supposed to create a Local State file and did I unintentionally mess it up with some other code work I did?
