I'm glad that I wasn't imagining the problem!
Added by HTPCSourcer for clarity:
To rename the ProgramData folder:
a) You need to view hidden files
b) You need to stop the MP server service
c) You need to close the MP taskbar icon
Unfortunately, the problems don't end there.
After installing MP2 & rebooting, I tried to run the configuration program.
I get a pop-up window:
gentle.config file not found! (C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\SlimTVCore\v3,0\gentle.config
Click OK, the message repeats.
Click OK again and I get "Setup database connection
Connection Settings" panel.
Since I'm confused, I click the underlined "database system" link. I get

on http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/
This directory exists, but is empty.
I copied gentle.config from the old ProgramData ... directory.
No more file not found errors, but the "Setup database connection" panel appears.
Where do I go from here?
