Hi Hans,
As you may recall I have more than one CumulusMX installed with my WiFiLogger and WLL devices. I tried v0.1.1 and it gave me an option to select 3 folders:
1. C:\&Recycle.bin (which contains a discarded CumulusMXtest version)
2. C:\KomokaWeather\ (where I have more than one CumulusMXxxx installs)
3. C:\Downloads_from_Acer2 (which is a copy of my old Windows8 PC that I have on my newer Windows10 PC for quick access of various files)
Item 2 is the only one I would want to use but it didn't define the specific C:\KomokaWeather\CumulusMXtest folder that I want to use.
I didn't want to accidently overwrite those other CumulusMX installs so Exit the InstallCMX.
Hi Paul,
I had already expected not to get away so easily with your machine
- I assume you mean 0.5.1 and not 0.1.1 Just to be sure
- That is interesting to see the recycle bin as well, did not expect that. Anyway, I'll just leave it there, it's a good reminder to clear it once in a while (which is good for performance)
- Regard no 3) then just as a reminder. I check on the executable file so if you have some leftovers you will see them there. It is not up to me to decide which CMX's are valid and which are not.
Now we get to the KomokaWeather directory.
What I wanted to prevent is installations like CumulusMX/CumulusMX. A kind of Installation of CMX in andother CMX directory tree. That is something I will not implement nor detect. It is too confusing. Let's call this "serial installation"
But your situation is muliple CMX installations on the same directory level, let's call those "parallel installs". You do it in KomokaWeather directory but it could also have been the root. I did not work that one out and will look at it. It is a refinement. I assume that in c:\\KomokaWeather\CumulusMXtest the whole CMX tree resides so the first directory would be CumulusMX leading to:
Code: Select all
KomokaWeather --- CumulusMXtest --- CumulusMX --- backup
--- data
---
--- web
--- webfiles
You probably leave the CumulusMX directory level out and put the files directly into CumulusMXtest
It is created like this because the CumulusMX is in the Archive and I simply unpack the archive on the place the user wants. In your case it gets one level extra which is probably not what you want. If you accept the CumulusMX level there is no problem, I just need to find the other parallel installs. If you don't want the CumulusMX level added, then there is a problem.

If I had selected number 2 would it then have given me a further option to select the CumulusMXtest folder?
No there would not have been further selections.

In the previous InstallCMX it immediately gave me the option to accept the default or alternately to enter the full path to \CumulusMXtest\
But yes the selection/modification option is still there because before installation you have to confirm or alter the installation directory. I doubt that will help in your case because it will always give the extra level. So it won't overwrite other Cumulus installs but it won't update the existing install either because it would create a serial installation.
I hope I described it well and not too complex.
I suggest we take this off line for further explanation/discussion to see what can be done.
I'll think about it and let you know what can be done without complicating it too much.
