FAH Client 7.6.21

Post by silverpulser »

After resetting my PC yesterday I reinstalled FAH with a download from FAH site of version 7.6.21 for Windows.
Last time I looked the FAHClient folders were in the Users/User name/AppData/Roaming folder. This time they are in the ProgramData folder on the main directory. Is this correct?

Yes, this is correct. It is part of the fixes to the client so it can be installed for "All users", that option did not work correctly in prior versions of the client.

However, when I installed 7.6.21 on another machine with an existing installation it left the Data in the Roaming Folder. I had to uninstall FAH and install as new to get it to install it to the ProgramData Folder

That happened to me, too. I knew enough about FAH's work files that I was able to manually move the partially completed WUs from one work file to the other but I did not recommend it publicly inasmuch as it's a complicated procedure that can easily mess things up.
