A project's configuration, data and log files are stored in different folders.
The configuration files for a project are stored in two locations:
-
Project folder - contains the project files (database files, graphics files, and so on)
-
Config folder - contains the configuration files for the local computer (such as citect.ini).
Project data that is associated with the runtime system is also stored in two locations:
-
Data folder - contains runtime data
-
Logs folder - contains runtime log files.
The following table shows the install path for each of these folders in the Windows™ Program Data directory.
