Windows 7 (32bit) and Data Files

[Henderson]

To Steve Loft,

I have the following version of Cumulus:
File Version: 1.8.3.539.
and
Product Version 1.0.0.0 of 21/11/’08.

Before I downloaded Cumulus 1.9.1 release, I wanted to back-up the previous downloads from the weather station which I have saved over the last several months. I did not fin this information in the data file. I run Windows 7 with 32 bit.

“I can’t find my data files!
You’re probably running Windows Vista or Windows 7 (or one of the corresponding server versions of Windows). Look in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Cumulus - note that this is a 'hidden' folder. Ideally, to avoid this situation, you would install to somewhere outside the Program Files hierarchy, as recommended in the readme.txt.”

I can not access the above directory through the ‘C’ Directory. Perhaps it is because I do not know how to locate the ‘hidden folders’ in this directory.

"It's also important that Windows 7 users don't install Cumulus under "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)". Here I just copied the folder across from my old Windows XP into my new Windows 7 P.C.

Or should I start again with the latest version?

Please can you help.

Regards

Alex. Henderson

You need to configure Windows to show hidden files and folders, then you'll be able to find your data and back it up. Then you can install v1.9.1 to C:\Cumulus and copy your saved data into there.

To Steve Loft,

Thank you for your help on my 'Windows 7 and Data recovery problem'. After finding hidden files, I was then able to locate the data and install the latest update.
