Keep in mind that having multiple wallets for different users in the same machine is not recommended for any coin.
The reason being? Unfortunately it does mean multiple block chains, but I haven't tried it yet.
EDIT: Perhaps an incoming port conflict?
Besides other coins are exactly in the same position as our because you would need to install many folders too and each folder detailing where exactly the wallet.dat file for each family member resides, our advantage is that we can put whole wallet and chain in a external device
This way the wallet.dat file could be located in each USB that belong to each family member

It is in the folder where you have chosen for the installer to download the block chain. If you don't remember/know, enter your wallet and open the component Daemon Settings -> Data directory
I chose to put it in the user specific %APPDATA/Roaming/Worldcoin folder, like all other core wallets. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, this gets stored in a config file in the program files folder. It my user profile becomes corrupt (a common occurrence during early win 10 release), I simply move my wallet folders from one users folder to the other and all other wallets work. I think for WDC I then have to remember to change the config in program files, so I'm not sure this app supports multiple users very well unless they store their app in their own folder.
By default, WDC put the blockchain in the user folder. I didn't want the blockchain clogging up my cloud user backup space.
My memory might be a bit sketchy though.

Keep in mind that having multiple wallets for different users in the same machine is not recommended for any coin, although we understand that in practice there is one family computer, so we decided that the best trade off could be to have one computer and for example one USB for each family member, with its own wallet.dat and if necessary it's own WBC folder (for separate logs)

Also, if each user is running a WBC app, would their be a conflict with the log file? Wouldn't they want their own settings?
Log files are more useful to us that for our users, we use them for support. But if you would like to have different logs for each user, the recommended option is to copy WBC folder to another place, one for each user.
Don't forget to edit the option in Daemon Settings -> Data directory to tell the wallet where the wallet.dat file for each user(folder) is located.

First impression when I tried this a few days ago. Min to tray rather than taskbar doesn't seem to work on win10. Looked at the address generator code, perhaps clicked on a combo box thinking why a combo box? crash......
Several days later, still rebuilding index on an SDD write cached HDD, with no indication of progress. Looks like I would be better reinstalling it.
How did you perform the upgrade? which version exactly did you use before?Several days later, still rebuilding index on an SDD write cached HDD, with no indication of progress. Looks like I would be better reinstalling it.

2.0.1 -> 2.0.2. Run as administrator. Program installed in Program Files/Worldcoin and blockchain stored in %APPDATA%/roaming/Worldcoin. Upgrade using wallet upgrade feature, advanced options. Note: finish button of upgrade program did not appear to work, so was closed using 'x'.
Please install it on a regular folder
Maybe the log files and other settings you talk about should be stored in the %APPDATA%/roaming/Worldcoin folder that I have configured. How would this system work in a multi user environment?
The problem is there already because unless you have many chain folders (one for each user) you share your wallet.dat anyway, on the other hand logs never store sensible information like keys or passwords so it can be used by many users without problem.
As you see putting log files in different folders won't help to solve that problem anyway.
Another reason is that portability to other platforms is a lot easier to achieve.
Having said that let's analyze this and debate it further, we are not close to do any necessary changes that we encounter in the road
So in my case, is the wallet.dat file being stored in the program files folder or the %APPDATA% folder? I thought it was in the latter? (the %APPDATA% folder being user specific).

I installed the new wallet but crashes every time I try to load so back to older one.
HI, can you give me details of your os and hardware? including video card please?Some intel cards are having some trouble, updating the driver from Intel web page directly usually solves the problem

Thank you for this good work.
I hope to see in future versions of the wallet a lot of new changes (such as cleaning WDC blockchain from the debris and previous forks)
This will reduce the size of the current blockchain and increase the speed of loading blocks..
At least many popular coins have already it's a done.

We have 2 key features that we need to add in the coming versions, then we will rebase to newer btc version and after that we will look for this kind of solution deeper
