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\EctEcad.dgn or \Config\Ecad.dwg
• \Config\setup.xml
• \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.

Substitute "(A)" for "(M)" in the following paths if using promis•e for AutoCAD.

promis•e V8i SELECTseries 3 & 5

Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\promis-e V8i(M)

Windows Vista & Windows 7:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\promis-e V8i(M)

promis•e V8i through SELECTseries 2 and promis•e 2007 v3.0

Path is the same as the Program folder path.  Files listed above will be in this path and not in a Config subfolder.
