Sid,
Just a thought, why not override the folder "Program Files (x86)" to "Program
Files" when installing AB on your W7 laptop. This is what I did for simplicity
of transferring the entire AB folder and sub-folders from desktop to laptop and
vice versa. My biggest problem switching from XP Pro to W7 was with
disappearing files ("compatibility files") and so I switched-off W7's UAC
feature and life has been sweet since!
Cheers,
Gordon Sutherland

I missed that as I was going thru preferences. If I use the pick button,
AB is not getting the entire path for Include and it can't be edited manually
and make it stick. The file path appears to be correct with "pick" but doesn't
save and is back to the default after an AB reboot. I must still be
overlooking something.
I can do a complete redo of the AB installation on the W7 laptop but I've
got a ton of formulas and charts that have to be copied from my XP desktop. In
the past for XP machine to XP machine a complete copy and over write has worked
but with the path change from Program Files to Program Files (x86) that is not
working for me.
Anyone have a procedure for this that works?
TIA
Sid

Subject: [amibroker] finding formulas on W7 install
Got a new W7 laptop, installed AB 5.20. Then I tried to copy my
current desktop over that AB on the laptop. Probably a dumb move...
AB couldn't find the data files because the data has a new address in
the Program Files (x86) area. I went to preferences and changed the address
to the new location.
Now AB can't find the formulas, for the same reason I assume. I
can't find any place to enter the new default location for the formula files.
Anyone have a hint on how to change the formulas location address on
that W7 laptop?
Thanks,
Sid
