XP/Vista Directory Structure: Installations of 3.1 have moved the location of the /data, /maps, /sounds, /logfiles directories from the \ProgramFiles directory to the default user data directory on the computer.
Beginning with version 3.1, RavTrack PC will no longer install or look for these directories in the \ProgramFiles directory. It will install them in the default data directory as determined by the user’s settings and the Operating System.
On Windows VISTA installations, these directories will be created in the \ProgramData\Raveon\RavTrack PC\… directory. Note, on many computers, this is a hidden directory, so if you wish to access it manually through Explorer, you will have to change its attributes.
On Windows XP installations, these directories will be created in the \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Raveon\RavTrack PC\….
