Actually you can and with v17 R5 and later works automatically. https://kb.4d.com/assetid=78412 Previous version of 4D — going all the way back to v12 — you just create a folder next to 4D.exe called “ClientLocal”. https://kb.4d.com/assetid=76425 It can also be a problem to use the “ClientLocal” folder feature if 4D is located in "C:\Program Files\” because Windows doesn’t like it when you modify things here. You an make it work by assigning special permissions to allow this, but it’s easier to just put a copy of the 4D folder somewhere else on your hard drive. Then 4D can modify the “ClientLocal” folder and Windows will not complain. By the way, the “ClientLocal" feature also works on macOS.
