Background

The program data folder contains program related files that require permissions beyond what many users have or what Windows allows for the Program folder.  These files include:

• \Config\Ecad.dgn or \Config\EctEcad.dgn or \Config\Ecad.dwg
• \Config\Setup.xml (The Setup.xml file used by the software may be in a different path, see Setup)
• \Config\Device.mdb
• \Config\ECADProject.mdb
• Plug-in related files that must have write permissions by the user
• \Menu\promiseV8i.dgnlib or \Menu\promis-e.cui

This path cannot be altered.

This article does not imply compatibility with listed operating systems. Consult the Compatibility Chart for that information.
