How to configure a different data folder from default one

Description

Starting from UCX Suite 2019.3.1 version, UCX Console allows to configure a different folder for its logs and settings. "Documents" folder is the default one, where a subfolder named "Imagicle Blue's Attendant" is created.

Solution

Run full installation package (please note that full package is required; live update does not support this capability), with the following command line:

{UCX_installer}.exe /HOMEDIR=%APPDATA%

In this example user roaming directory is specified.

{UCX_installer}.exe /HOMEDIR="c:\my dir\some other"

In this example  “c:\my dir\some other” directory is specified. Please note required quotation marks, in case spaces are included in folder name.

Caveats

This capability is not supported by “light” setup package. In case a HOMEDIR  change is required, you must reinstall/update current installation by using the FULL package and using above command line.

Diagnostic

Open last modified “Setup Log*.txt” file and look for “Custom HomeDir” string:

2018-12-10 18:30:51.180 Custom HomeDir:D:\Test bae\another folder

2018-12-10 18:30:51.180 Custom HomeDir has been set to:D:\Test bae\another folder

Check that installer.ini file is available in C:\{pf}\Imagicle Blue’s Attendant folder, with the following content:

HomeDir=%APPDATA%
