Re: [M100] How to delete then re-install VirtualT 1.6
Tom, Great suggestions! I found the virtualt.prefs file as you directed. I made my directory structure as shown in the perfs file and used the info to create a TPDD_ROOT directory in the right place. I then moved the various OptROM images (.BX files) to TPDD_ROOT so that subsequent installation under REXMGR was successful. Now I have a fully functional VirtualT v1.6 and running REX 4.8 (past install) on my T200. Nice! Next: I think I will skip an upgrade to REX 4.9 and go for REX#. I hope that goes well. Thank you again for your help!

Re: [M100] How to delete then re-install VirtualT 1.6
Ken,
My laptop is not organized like you suggest. I have tried to move folders to
make it look like your examples but I have not been successful.
NOTE: I do have it working from a directory as follows:
C:/virtualt-win32-v1.6/
but creating a REX.bin file seems to require the directory structure seen in
the ‘memory options’ and that completely eludes me.
And virtualt.prefs is nowhere to be found. But maybe File Explorer search does
not work well.
I will work on it some more and report back in a while.
Best regards,
Bob

Hey Bob,
Okay, I think you need to delete your VirtualT preferences file. I had to boot
my Windows Virtual Machine (and here I was having such a good day up until that
point) to figure out where it is saved.
You should have something like C:\Documents and
Settings\{user_name}\Application Data\virtualt and within should be a
virtualt.prefs file. If you delete (or rename) that file, then VirtualT will
"forget" that you ever had a REX file.

Thanks, Steve!
I get the following message:
“Could not open REX file C:/Program

VT1.6 will still run, but I get this same message when I close the program.
I see that “virtual-win32-v1.6” is on my C:/ root directory, but not in the
“Program Files(x86)” directory, and there is no “VirtualT” sub directory there
either.
I created a “VirtualT” directory in the “Program Files(x86)” directory and
tried to install again. I get this message next:
“Compressed (zipped) Folders was unable to create the specified directory.
Ensure that the directory does not already exist, and that the path entered us

Thanks for your help.

Hi Bob,
I think you just unzip it, and a folder structure is created.
you don't really have to install it, you just go into the folders, and run the
VirtuaT.exe file.
give that a try!
