With new software releases now provided as monolithic *.exe files, is there any place we can find the mpuplcprograms directory tree?
Suppose, for example, that I want to compare the latest Allin1DC standard lathe PLC program source with the latest Allin1DC Hardinge-specific lathe PLC program source. Where do I find those two files, without running the full-blown installer twice onto my computer?

Re: PLC Installer, mpuplcprograms directory
Marc, the exe installer can be opened and browsed with 7-Zip. I'm not sure if it's actually a zip file or if 7-Zip just knows how to read Windows installers. At any rate you can open it with 7-Zip and drag and drop the mpuplcprograms directory any where you want it.
Cheers,
Tom

Re: PLC Installer, mpuplcprograms directory
The mpuplcprograms directory tree is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Centroid\mpuplcprograms
It gets deleted and recreated every time the installer is run to ensure the plcs are up to date with that version.

Re: PLC Installer, mpuplcprograms directory
Marc wanted to have access to the latest PLC programs WITHOUT having to run the installer. This is useful when trying to find changes made to a modified PLC, or just seeing what updates have been made between Centroid stock PLC releases.

Re: PLC Installer, mpuplcprograms directory
This is good to know too, though. I usually do have a recent CNC12 installed on this computer. I just didn't want to have to overwrite that installation repeatedly just to get a look at a different PLC program source.ASPeters wrote:The mpuplcprograms directory tree is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Centroid\mpuplcprograms

Both methods will prove useful.
