| Under certain circumstances if you install
over a pre-existing version of Citect and do not delete the
CITECT.INI file the INI parameters may not be updated correctly.
Every attempt has been made to ensure the installation process
works correctly but I the event that it doesn't here is a solution
to the problem. When Citect installs and a CITECT.INI file already
exists the installation program will not create a new INI file.
Instead it will attempt to update the existing file. If CtEdit and
CtDraw fail to run (typically it will fail to do project upgrading
correctly) it is usually caused by the BIN, USER, and DATA paths
being corrupted. The BIN and USER paths are particularly important
as these specify the location of Citect executable files and Citect
projects respectively. Use a text editor such as notepad to edit
the CITECT.INI file in your Windows directory. Check that the file
paths are correct. If you installed your previous version of Citect
to the default location they should be set as follows:
BIN=C:\CITECT\BIN
USER=C:\CITECT\USER
DATA=C:\CITECT\DATA
Note that the drive letter may be different from 'C' in your
case depending on your computer configuration. If you didn't
install to the default location it should be possible to figure out
the appropriate paths by looking at the directory structure of your
existing installation in File Manager. Save these changes and try
running CtEdit. It should now run up normally. If it doesn't try
deleting the CITECT.INI file and re-installing Citect again. If
this fails then you may have more serious problems and should
contact Citect support.
