Hi Andrew

where did you, and have you now, installed Cumulus on Win7?

[andrew]

Hi its on my c drive and yes its already installed

[daj]

Did you install Cumulus in C:\program files ?

[andrew]

yes

[daj]

Oh No! First thing in the read me .....

Important: On Vista and Windows 7, it is strongly recommended
that you install Cumulus outside the Program Files hierarchy,
e.g. put it in C:\Cumulus\.

Let's move on from potential punishment!!

If you want to clear everything down best to uninstall Cumulus and then look in a hidden folder

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Cumulus

Delete the Cumulus folder

Re-install in a new folder, eg C:\cumulus

[andrew]

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Cumulus.....i cant find the app folder it is not there

[andrew]

app/data

[daj]

how far along the path do you see?

It is usually hidden by default, so you need to tell Windows to show it.

In Windows Exploer click Organize and then Folder and Search Options

job done thanks alot for your help Daj

No probs

Just by way of an explanation, and the reason Steve suggests not installing in c:\program files....

Windows Vista & more so Windows 7 have changed the security options and often by default when a program tries to install 'data' into the programs folder, Windows will create a Virtual Store (hidden) to keep the data outwith the programs folder structure. Most users are completely unaware of it as Windows handles the links to where the data really is, however it does cause some problems.

Just a quick question ..Im wanting to set up a web page with all of the cumulus data on the page.But the problem is ive not got a clue on how to do it.i have no idea at all onbuilding web pages and ive tried in the past and have had zero results.Do you know of any free web pages ?

I installed mine in D:\Program Files and this is the path to the data - this was Win7 64bit, and was a clean install system not a Vista upgrade:

D:\Program Files (x86)\Cumulus\data

The data seems to be in Dec09log.txt. Shame it's not called 0912log.txt as then they would naturally sort in date order.

[andrew]

Do you know how to build a free webpage and do you know any links to find one ?

D:\Program Files (x86)\Cumulus\data

Yes, installing anywhere outside %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)% will result in the data staying in the installation folder.
