Home » Remote Desktop Manager - Beta » location of cfg-file

Posts: 157 		it seems there is a bug with the new location of the cfg-file.

scenario:
when i used version 5.6.0.1 installed to c:\programme\remotedesktopmanager\ it contained the following files
remotedesktopmanager.exe
remotedesktopmanager.cfg
remotedesktopmanager.bak
connections.mdb
connections.log
remotedesktopmanager.addon.dll

then i update to 5.6.0.2 by replacing the exe and dll in c:\programme\remotedesktopmanager\ (so no second installation; no two different locations; just one exe)

first start by double-clicking exe:
it moved the .cfg to %userprofile%\local settings\....
on close:
.bak was created

second start by double-clicking exe:
everything goes well

then starting RDM with "start | run": C:\Programme\RemoteDesktopManager\RemoteDesktopManager.exe
i've been asked whether to start RDM on startup
the .cfg file was created in c:\programme\remotedesktopmanager\
the connections.mdb is new created in %userprofile%\local settings\... and therefore empty

starting RDM again with "start | run" it uses the cfg from c:\programme\remotedesktopmanager and the connections.mdb from %userprofile%\local settings\...

so there seems to be a bug when starting RDM with "start | run"?!

please take a look at this and let me know if there is anything not clear.

Posts: 157 		steps to reproduce:
version 5.6.0.2 or higher
installation path: c:\program files\remotedesktopmanager\
current configuration file path: %userprofile%\local settings\...
have a look at the installation path and make sure the cfg file does not exist there

click "start | run" and type: "c:\program files\remotedesktopmanager\remotedesktopmanager.exe"

have a look at c:\program files\remotedesktopmanager\ there should now be a cfg file ...

if you can't reproduce it can you provide me with a "debug"-version?

if you double click the exe after the .cfg file was created in the installation path the .cfg from the installation path is moved to the dir %userprofile%\local settings\... and overwrites the "old" one
