#54 roaming profiles - location of the config file

[Mathias Weyland]

Hi

I am using virtuawin on Windows XP boxes with roaming
profiles. Every time I log out and log in again, I get
the message that the config file could not be read and
that a new one has been generated. This happens when I
log in on different boxes and also when I log in again
on the box I configured virtuawin a few seconds ago.
What's the location of the config file?

Best regards

Have never tested with roaming profiles myself, but seems
strange that you need to reconfigure everytime.
The config files are here (at least on my win2k box):
c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application Data\VirtuaWin\

I was having the same problem. The issue is with the domain
setup. Some domain setups delete the user's profile from
the computer upon logoff (this is how my samba domain is
setup). I fixed this by editing the source. The file is
DiskRoutines.c, line 49. Change CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA to
CSIDL_APPDATA and voila! If you don't have the ability to
fix it yourself and would like to have the copy I compiled
(compiled with MinGW), let me know.

Cheers,
Chris

There is now a proper solution to this issue. As of version
3 there is a new userpath.cfg config file which can be
created in the VW installation directory to permanently
change the location of your user config files, this can be
set to a more reasonable location. See the 3.0 Configuration
Files help page for more information.
