RBuilder.INI

rbuser

Is there a reason why the RBuilder.INI file is now being saved in
\Windows\System32? In RB9 and prior, it was saved in \Windows by default.

Thanks,
Perry

If you are using the TppDesigner component check your setting for
TppDesigner.IniStorageName. For RB 11, the new default is
($LocalAppData)\RBuilder\RBuilder.ini. For your existing projects, updte
them to use ($LocalAppData)\RBuilder\RBuilder.ini

For your existing projects RB 11.04 should be working the same as pior
version, thougb there was an issue with 11.03 and prior resolving to
windows\system32.

Is it OK to change the ppEndUsr.pas source as follows?

procedure TppDesigner.SetIniStorageName(aStorageName: String);
begin
//FIniStorageName := aStorageName;
FIniStorageName := '($LocalAppData)\RBuilder\RBuilder.ini';

ConfigureIniStorage;

end;

No. (We are not making that mod here. If I were you, I would not modify the
RB source. Moving forward with RB 11.05, etc that is just going to require
more work).

The TppDesigner class constructor includes code to support defaulting new
instances of TppDesigner to the new default location.

In TppDesigner.Create you will find the following...

FIniStorageName := TppIniStoragePlugIn.GetStorageClass.DefaultStorageName;

For existing projects I would open the relevant form and modify the
IniStorageName and then resave.

I am wondering if you are either using RB 11.03 or have a corrupt
installation. You might search your hard drive for for ppIniStorage.*,
perhaps you have an old version lying around in Delphi\Lib or some other
weird location).

Open your ppIniStorage.pas and find TppIniFile.CreateCustomIniFile. Does it
have this code?

if Pos(TppFilePathVariables.WinSys, aStorageName) > 0 then
// backwards compatibility, resolve ($WinSys) to Windows directory
aStorageName := StringReplace(aStorageName, TppFilePathVariables.WinSys,
TppFileUtils.GetWindowsFilePath, [rfIgnoreCase])
