Options and current project data location

[NewsArchive]

Is there any way to export, or copy, SB options and current project
data?

I've moved to a new system and have SB7 running but all my options and
current projects are only available to the instance in my old OS
running in a VM. I'm just wondering if this data can be transferred.

The file that stores the IDE settings is located at:

CSIDL_APPDATA\Lindersoft\SetupBuilder 7\SB7.LIC

It should be possible to copy this file over from your "old" OS to the "new"
one.

And iff you follow the concept of "portable" projects (use of compiler
variable defined paths instead of "fixed" hard-coded paths) then you only
have to change one variable if the source paths change.

Does this help?

BTW, I am using the compiler variable [SB_PROJECT] very often for source
paths definitions. Then I have the .sb7 project file along with the files
to be redistributed in the same folder tree.

Copied that file over and ran 7 and there it was, like I left it.

THANK YOU!

I started using [SB_PROJECT] in my projects long ago. It makes it MUCH
easier to copy one project to another.

This move is just about wrapped up now. Yesterday a new SCSI card
arrived that works with Win7/64 so -now- I can get my backups done and
relax a bit. My old, trusty, AHA-2940uw had to go!
