Visual Munge not working (short munge) [Solved]

Okay, so I was trying to make my first map for Battlefront 2. I followed all the documentation directions for a first map, but when I ran the Visual Munge from inside the _BUILD folder, nothing shows up in my Addon folder.

I made sure I had the output path set to the right directory, then ran Visual Munge again, and, once again, nothing happened. I decided to try to munge to another path, to a folder in My Documents. The map folder was created, but there's nothing inside the LVL_PC folder!

Any advice?

P.S.
There were no errors that I could see that Visual Munge reported.

Thanks for your help, Frisbeetarian, but I looked in that path and found the same result: The folder with the 3-letter map name is there, but there's nothing in the LVL_PC folder.

I believe I have this same problem.

And I can't find this AppData folder...

The AppData folder is hidden. You can show it by going into the "Organize" drop-down menu, selecting "Folder and Search options", and going into the view tab. Find the checkbox next to the line that says "Show hidden files and folders" and click on it to checkmark it.

I was really asking Taung12, and I would still like to know how long his munge is, but I asked because I suspected that this is the problem. You already knew about this fix since you posted in that topic after I posted the fix. What did you mean by this:

My munge is really short; somewhere between about 1 and 2 seconds.
Is this abnormally fast?

Yes it is. Run the file as described HERE and you should be fine. (Thank you teetie for linking to it indirectly, I just thought a direct link would be better.)
