Issue

On the initial configuration wizard when the following is set:

The program will create duplicated files in the user profile regardless:

Fix

Remove redundant calls of ExtractNativeDependencies() and let the following method call it:

Mesen2/UI/Config/ConfigManager.cs

Line 46 in c0e7d9f

public static void CreateConfig(bool portable)

N.B. An empty directory "Mesen2" will still be created in the user profile. I can add that folder not being created with the above setting if this is a wanted change.

I'm aware of this issue, however, extracting the files is required - not doing so will crash the application when it starts. This won't be visible if you're running through, e.g Visual Studio, because the folder that contains Mesen.exe will also contain all the files that it needs to extract, but if you run the .exe file from a folder that doesn't have those files (e.g libskiasharp, mesencore.dll, etc.), which is what happens when someone runs mesen after download it, the application displays nothing and crashes immediately with these changes.

Sorry about that, yes it wasn't visible in Visual Studio as the dependancies are there. I have not been able to build a single exe file with the PublishProfiles (VS 2022). The DLLs are outputted to the build directory in addition to Mesen.exe.

Would this changed commit work?

If so, Directory.Delete() may need some exception handling but I have not found a case unless the permissions of Mesen2 are changed retroactively by the user.
