Upgrade lose Configuration location

[acheton]

Hi Don

Each of the last 3-4 beta upgrades have resulted in XY losing my configuration & therefore my licence. I can easily fix this by loading my configuration from the relevant location. At the same time as this bug was introduced I also started seeing access denied messages when loading XY and after an upgrade today I got the attached message, which is illustrative of the messages I had before:

If you are not starting XY with admin privileges every time, this will fail^^

Maybe you've deleted your Startup.ini file or it has the wrong content

That's the default:

Code: Select all

[Appdata]
Path=%appdata%\XYplorer

Yes I get that, just included for completeness.

You are right, my startup.ini was missing and recreating it fixes things. I have my profile stored in GoogleDrive and nothing has been deleted from there in the last few weeks or so. So goodness knows where it went.

thanks for your help

Actually this is still broken. I created in my profile directory a new text file named startup.ini with the content you suggested. Here is what I am seeing:

1. Open XYPlorer - which loads the wrong profile
2. File -> Load Configuration and select my correct profile directory
3. File -> Exit
4. Reopen XYPlorer and it opens with a default profile

Any other ideas about how I can resolve this please?

That file needs to be in the installation dir of XY, not the profile dir^^

OK thanks, that now works. I don't know why it went missing though. Thanks for your help
