Silly Question No. 2

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Silly Question No. 2

Post by water01 »

Is it important to maintain the directory structure with CumulusMXDist at the front within the .zip file or can I use my own directory structure as long as I maintain the structure below the CumulusMXDist?

And does it have to be on the C: drive in Windows 7 as per Cumulus.

Yes, it's only the structure underneath that which is important (I didn't actually intend to have that top level directory in there anyway).
And does it have to be on the C: drive in Windows 7 as per Cumulus.
It doesn't have to be on the C: drive (and neither does Cumulus 1). As it runs as administrator it could actually go in Program Files (which is where v1 shouldn't go), but it's probably best to avoid that.
