Depending on the network speed, at some customers I have RBG7RT on their local "C" drive, and at others it is on the server.
I use the "RBG7RT.EXE -A startupfile.DAT" format since the data base is (of course) always on the server in my applications folder. I copy (rather than install) the RTime71Win folder in a separate folder (with RBTI license of course!). I don't (knowingly) have anything in Windows folders. If duplicate copies of Rbengine.cfg are in \myapp and \rtime71win, it doesn't seem to be causing any problems (???)
I guess I was looking for a "standard setup" regardless of whether they have the Rtime files local or on the server.

Dennis,
It all depends on the method of distributing your RBG7.1
Runtime and Application files.
If everything, such as, RBG7RT.EXE, RBENGINE.CFG, RBIO.DLL,
RBENGINE.DLL and all application/database files are in the
same folder (RTime71Win), then you need to start your
application with "RBG7RT.EXE -A startupfile.DAT".
That will keep everything in one place and there will be
no RBENGINE.CFG file created anywhere else.
If it's a situation where you might have applications in
different working directories, I suggest that you use the
typical setup where you keep all DLLs (RBEGINE.DLL, RBIO.DLL)
in Windows "System32" directory and RBENGINE.CFG file in
"Windows" directory.
That setup will eliminate the creation of RBENGINE.CFG
file all over your working folders.
RBENGINE75.DLL, RB75IO.DLL and RBENGINE75.CFG files are
related to R:BASE 7.5 for Windows.
RBENGINE8.DLL, RB8IO.DLL and RBENGINE8.CFG files are
related to R:BASE V-8 Turbo for Windows.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
