Here are the considerations for this combination of settings:

 

•Most data files go into the MAIN folder

•Control data files and INI files go into the SYSTEM folder

•Both data paths have their location 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.

 

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

 

XP                C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\LANSRAD\DemoDefault

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

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