#1 - The Basic with CSIDL Control

Previous topic Next topic  

Here are the considerations for this combination of settings:

 

All data and INI files go into one folder

The data path location is set by CSIDL and template values

The application INI file is managed by ProPath

CapeSoft's FM3 is included in the application

First Run is disabled because the path is preset

Developer Mode is enabled and controlled by an External INI file

 

Where will the data and INI files go?

 

In this example, ProPath will use the CSIDL location (as returned by the Windows API) to obtain the base folder, then two other levels ( LANSRAD and DemoDefault ) will be added to it.

 

The actual data path to the MAIN data folder for this example would be:

 

XP                C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\LANSRAD\DemoDefault

Vista                C:\Users\User Name\Documents\LANSRAD\DemoDefault

Windows 7        C:\Users\User Name\Documents\LANSRAD\DemoDefault

 

Note: the Company Name is an optional folder level for CSIDL_PERSONAL.  Some people prefer to put the product name it that field and eliminate the Company Name.
