New Locations for Configuration and Project Files

Due to security changes in Windows Vista, some modifications to the location of configuration and user files used by CitectSCADA have been made.

When installed on Windows XP or earlier, configuration and project files are by default stored in the Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Citect/CitectSCADA 7.xx/ folder. When installed on Windows Vista, configuration and project files are by default stored in the ProgramData/Citect/CitectSCADA 7.xx/ folder. Install locations are as follows:

File type Platform Install Path
Configuration files such as the citect.ini file Pre-Vista Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Citect/CitectSCADA 7.xx/Config
Vista ProgramData/Citect/CitectSCADA 7.xx/Config
User directory Pre-Vista Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Citect/CitectSCADA 7.xx/User
