    File Paths

    Most settings seen on the Setup dialog are stored in the Setup.xml file. The location of the Setup.xml file depends on the version of the software and Setup Settings Location.

    The Setup Settings Location option on the Setup dialog was added in version 08.11.12.137. This setting is stored in the UserOptions.xml file located in the following path:

    Application Data (per-user configuration) - Promis.e

    Application Data (per-user configuration) - Substation

    If "Use All Users Settings" is set on Setup, or if using versions prior to 08.11.12.137

    The Setup.xml in the Config subfolder of the following path is used:

    Program data folder - Promis.e

    Program data folder - Substation

    If "Use Current User Settings" is set on Setup in version 08.11.12.137 or later

    The Setup.xml file in the Config subfolder of the following path is used:

    Application Data (per-user configuration) - Promis.e

    Application Data (per-user configuration) - Substation
