This applies to Windows 7 and MXWendler version 4.2 and above


Problem:

  • You want to store/save/restore/edit your configuration. You are used to edit the config file in (MXWendler program location)/config/config.xml, but there is either no file or whatever you change makes no difference to MXWendler


Solutions:

  • Simple, but not recommended: run MXWendler as Administrator
  • Simple, but not recommended: Change the User Account Control (UAC) Level


Recommenden: do not alter your system and use MXWendler as a standard user. config.xml is not in the program files directory an more, look for it in

  • C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\MXWendlerStageDESIGNER
  • C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MXWendlerStageDESIGNER


Background:

  • Since Vista, Windows uses a so-called VirtualStore. For security reasons, a program cannot change any file in the program files directory. So the user is redirected to one of the directories stated above
