Laserfiche 6, Plus 6

Summary

When using the LaserFiche Client\Standalone on a non-English operating system, it will always use the LF.INI file under the Windows directory.

Resolution

Install LaserFiche Client, Desktop, Executive, Intuition, MinuteFile, Notebook, Personal Edition, Plus, or Viewer version 6.03 or higher.

Network Installations: Install LaserFiche Server version 6.03 or higher.

More Information

Upgrading LaserFiche will allow it to create and use the LF.INI files in the same locations as the corresponding English operating system. The locations for the LF.INI on English operating systems are listed below.

At times, it may be necessary to find the LF.INI file to perform a special type of configuration. This file can always be found in the x:\Windows or x:\WinNt directory. However, another version of this file may exist in another location. Please refer to the following list to find your LF.INI:

  • Windows 95/98/ME: Only one version of the LF.INI file exists. It can be found in the x:\Windows directory.
  • Windows NT: The LF.INI file can be found in the x:\WinNt directory and in the following path under the WinNT directory: Profiles\Current_User\Application Data\LF.
  • Windows 2000/XP: The LF.INI file can be found in the Windows directory and in the following path under the Document and Settings folder: Current_User\Application Data\LF.

Note: The letter x stands for the drive letter on which the system files were installed.
