This article describes how the user can create a configuration settings backup manually to restore all personal settings like company logos, profile settings, OSD configurations, customized reports etc. after re-installing the software WinCanVX.

Instructions

1.) Create a new folder C:\WinCanVX_SETUP

2.) Create a sub-folder C:\WinCanVX_SETUP\Custom

3.) Copy the latest version of the installation file WinCanVX_SETUP into the folder C:\WinCanVX_SETUP:

4.) The folder \Custom itself must contain two sub-folders:

  • ProgramData: this folder contains the configuration files to be copied into the installation folder C:\User\Public\PublicDocuments\CDLAB

  • ProgramFiles: this folder contains the configuration files to be copied into the installation folder C:\ProgramFiles\CDLAB

Important: there is no need to create the folder CDLAB. Put the folder with VX-configuration files directly into the corresponding subfolder ProgramData or ProgramFiles respectively.

However the file path must contain the same sub-folders that are created during a standard installation of WinCanVX

 

So WinCanVXSetup.exe will always be checking whether there is a folder Custom available on the same directory level as the SETUP. If this is true it just executes the command xcopy.
