Hi is it possible to export all uiview32 settings to another PC if so how?.Partially....????

UIview32.ini (located in the main folder ot the UIview setup) contains about a half-dozen absolute path references to components of UIview. If the folder path on the new machine isn't EXACTLY the same as on the old one, you will have to open?? UIview32.ini?? in a basic text editor and change these paths to match the new machine. The best way however is to: 1)???? Cold-install UIview32-2.03 on the new machine.?? This causes all of the dozens of entries in the Windows Registry related to UIview to be created.? Don't run it after install. ??? If this is a post-XP machine, DO NOT accept? the proposed default path ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Peak Systems\etc ). Install in a folder directly off the off the root such as C:\UIview32 . 2)??? Enter the resulting new UIivew program folder and DELETE EVERYTHING.? But keep the now-empty folder. 3)??? Copy/Paste everything from your old UIview installation (via network, flash drive, portable hard drive, etc) to the new folder. 4)??? If you are using the PMap Server or maps in a defined external "Extra Maps" folder,? copy/paste these to matching locations on the new machine. 5)??? if the directory path to UIview on the new machine is different from the old machine (i.e. you are moving an old XP install to a new Win7 or Win10 install), you will have to open the file?? UIview32.ini??? (located in the main UIview folder) with a basic text editor such as Windows Notepad.? Find/replace every reference to the original location of UIview and replace them with the path on the new machine. (There are about half a dozen absolute path references to various components of UIview inside UIview32.ini,) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen H.

I am running UI-View on an old XP machine that is on its way out. Still trying to get a handle on how reliable a Win 10 environment is from r this old program.... I have run it trouble free for a decade or more. After reading your notes I am almost persuaded to give it a go under windows 10 :) Just a dumb question..... does UI-View work in X Win environment under a Linux OS ?

It definitely WILL NOT run natively on Linux. UIview will work without problems in Win 10 if, but it isn't a mindless "Run setup and accept the defaults" undertaking.

Thanks for your response, and the link for your page. A very useful resource, thanks for making it available. Will find another computer and have a go at installing a new iteration of UI-View. I t’s a great program, and I have enjoyed running my I-Gate all these years. Thanks again, and will let you know when I have it up and running.
