Version 6 install location?

Post by Dale Wills »

Can somewhere please explain to me why V6 eCabinets has been installed in a new location to the previous install. When I was installing it I was never given an option as to where to install it and figured it would install straight over the top of the old version. Now it appears I have a double up of install locations. I am also missing material images and can't find where they are saved in the new install location. Any help much appreciated.

The main program should be in the same place, but the user files (cabs, jobs,etc) are put under user data. Materials are in program data/thermwood/ecabinetsystems. You can see where the user data is stored in the settings/preferences dialog and can change it to a location of your choosing.

Dale,

I think the new installation procedure was to deal with the security features found in Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. When Microsoft changes something everyone else must make adjustments.

Kerry's message refers to an after-the-fact cleanup after V6 has placed files in a spot you don't want. Upgrade messages do not offer you the option of advising where you want your User data files to be placed. This makes a messy install/upgrade. I now have to move files after the fact.
