What Is It?
During installation, you chose where OpCon programs are installed and where they write output files.
Configuration file location depends on the installation drive:
- System drive (e.g., C:\): Configuration files are in
<systemdrive>:\ProgramData\OpConxps - Non-system drive (e.g., D:\): Configuration files are in the same folder as the programs
Output file location defaults are also drive-dependent, but can be set to any local hard drive location:
- System drive: Output files default to
<systemdrive>:\ProgramData\OpConxps - Non-system drive: Output files default to the same folder as the programs
- Custom path: The
SMACommon.inifile indicates the output file path
Installed to System Drive using Default Path
Programs: C:\Program Files\OpConxps\program folder
Configuration files: C:\ProgramData\OpConxps\program folder
Output files: C:\ProgramData\OpConxps\program folder
The root OpConxps data folder is likely hidden. To access it, type C:\ProgramData in your File Explorer address bar.
