According to the documentation AppLocalDataLocation is the following: "C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/<APPNAME>", "C:/ProgramData/<APPNAME>", "<APPDIR>", "<APPDIR>/data"

In which directory are the desktop files? Unfortunately I can't check as my Windows machine broke a while back and I haven't compiled KF5 on Windows since.

Patch looks good to me otherwise as it will still check the same directories change behaviour on Linux. Only minor issue is that the error message is a little bit confusing now.
