Re: Rev Studio and Vista

2007-08-25 Thread Jerry Daniels 

Len,

I've looked at Vista and it has the same set up system as XP. You do  
have a folder where your documents are supposed to reside. You can  
discover that with the specialFolderPath function, if need be.


HOWEVER, on installing Revolution, it does NOT create the third party  
plugins folder for you. You have to do this yourself, or use the  
Galaxy 1.5 Installer to install Galaxy to create it.


All that said, the easy way to solve this problem is to create the  
third party plugins folder yourself. Create "My Revolution Studio"  
folder in your "blessed" documents folder. Then within the newly  
created "My Revolution Studio" folder, create a folder called  
"plugins" and put your "Galaxy Studio Startup.rev" file and your  
"GLX2 Code.rev" files in there. Then restart Revolution on your Vista  
machine and you'll be as right as rain.


Lemme know if you have any more problems.

Where exactly is the "Special Folder" for plugins and while we're  
at it, where can I install a Rev app so that it is available to all  
users of a computer (on Vista).  I used to use "Documents and  
Settings\All Users\Application Data\


Thanks!

In Vista that's now:

  C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Revolution Studio

But as Jerry pointed out, this isn't created automatically by 
Revolution; you'd have to create itt yourself.

In Vista this is now:

  C:\ProgramData

You can see these all listed at the 'specialFolderPath Codes' tip on my 
site - I've bookmarked it because I use it so often:
