Oh, and to answer the question. "Because Bill said so".
Windows compliance type stuff - sigh. Even with what you've brought up, there's
still the registry.
Just to clarify a bit. At least SmartCAM WILL look locally
first. Most apps only check the PATH(s) (if that).
It's too nice of a day. Think I'll go fishing.

Just
a comment:
Since every windows program looks in its own installed folder first,
for ini and dll files why in the #$%$ do the app writers continue to stick
these support files in the windows folders? If all app files were in their own
home/sub folders you could re-install the os or any app and never lose
anything. You could also remove any app by just removing the apps
folders.

Mornin Chris,
When installing the first thing it does is check for a
smartcam.ini file and uses CFGPath for the default. Another thing to be
aware of is the OS and who you are logged on as. If it's a network and there
isn't a smartcam.ini it will use the users default home directory. This is
why installing as the administrator can cause problems. No one can
write to the administatrators home.
A final FYI. When ever any of the apps start, the first
place it looks for it's ini file is in the directory that the executable
lives in. So if you're ever having problems figuring out where the hell the
right ini file is and you just need to get your job done, simply drop the
ini file in next to the executable and you're good to go.

pmill.ini
Hi all,
I've noticed that the pmill.ini file gets
installed in different folders on different computers (at least this has
been my experience). In other cases, some installations install a "backup"
pmill.ini file in a backup directory. My thinking is that possibly the OS
has something to do with this phenomenon. Since this does occur, one of
the other files in a Smartcam installation has to be pointing to the
pmill.ini location. Would this be the "CFGPath=" section in the
Smartcam.ini file?
Regards,
Chris
