reportbuilder .ini location

rbuser

Hi guys

We host our apps on Win 2008 servers locked down so each user only
'sees' their own folder as a mapped network drive. We have recently
updated to ReportBuilder 15 and after updating a client to our latest
offering... We have had a call from them stating that reporting is no
longer possible as Report Builder is trying to write .ini settings to
the C:\Windows folder (which is not of course available to them)
...previously it defaulted to the users mapped network drive...

How do we set the default place for ReportBuilder to write its settings?

Thanks

Glenn,

This is controlled by TppDesigner.IniStorageName. The new default value is
($LocalAppData)\RBuilder\RBuilder.ini which resolves the users local app
data folder. This adheres to latest Windows security. If you have an old
project, the default used to be Windows\System and you will need to update
the value manually.

We have also added a Designer.iniStorageType of IniNone, in which case no
RBuilder.ini is created.




Best regards,

Hi Nard

Many thanks, after altering the designer components
TppDesigner.IniStorageName on the Delphi forms to
($LocalAppData)\RBuilder\RBuilder.ini all works well.
