Macro Scheduler is looking in the wrong directory

Post by Joejr » Wed Jan 27, 2010 1:21 am

I need some assistance.

I just got a new system. It is a Amd 8650 with 4 GB of ram and half a terabyte of hard drive space and vista 64 bit.

When I open Macro Scheduler it lists all the macros like it should. However if I try to run or edit any macro, it comes up wih an error saying it can't find the file and then it tells me the path that it is looking for the file but the path is the wrong path.

I have tried to reinstall but that didn't help.

Any help would be very appreciated,

Joe

Please try:

1. Uninstall
2. Delete this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MJTNET\MSched11 - DataDir
3. Look for any files or folders inside your My Documents folder called "Macro Scheduler 11" and delete them.
4. Reinstall.

Talk about serendipity. I just found a reason to change my MS data file location to another drive and discovered that MS kept looking in "MY Documents" as the location for .ini and .dat files.

It is possible to edit this location in the registry and so far as I have found everything works as per otherwise normal.
