A little help with my move please

usasma · Jan 19, 2013

I've installed v2.6.4 following the instructions in the installation topic (I didn't install Richard's .dll's yet)
The Help file contains an index structure - but each page is a ? mark and there's no content showing in the left hand pane (tried using the Help menu in the app and by double clicking on the .chm file).

But, my primary question is:
"How do I copy the settings/files/etc from my old installation (v2.6.1.5)
The old installation has stuff in the _jcgriff2_ folder and the SysnativeBSODApps folder

Just curious, any chance of making this portable - with the search for kd.exe on the host machine?
It'd be an awesome tool for technicians!

To make moves easier, I am putting together a major upgrade for release in 2.7.0 later today. It will save all necessary files to the .zdn file and ignore unnecessary files. That should make saving and loading .zdn files a bit cleaner and also help with portability.

As for now, just move the SysnativeBSODApps directory that you had on your previous system into your user profile directory, i.e. C:\Users\John

The _jcgriff2_ folder is deprecated and no longer used by the apps.

For the .chm file issue, don't forget to check the .chm properties to make sure the help files are unblocked. Unblock Files in Windows 8 using PowerShell and Registry - Michael Crump

The _jcgriff2_ folder is deprecated

Can I claim that for a tax credit? (I really need one this year) :)

I'm afraid I said deprecated and not depreciated. ;-}

Your post still made me laugh. :lol:

2.7.2 should make life a little easier when porting between systems. The forums files also no longer cause problems with kd.exe paths being loaded from an old system each time the apps run. kd.exe paths saved within the forums settings .zdn file are now ignored. That should diminish problems with kd paths on your new installation if the kernel debugger was installed in a different location this time around.

Save As will still save to a .zdn file and keep track of the kd.exe paths. Quick Save will also save the kd.exe paths and current debugging path. That way, you can still create .zdn files for different kd paths if you wanted to.

You will find the .zdn files are now much smaller. I have minimized them to only save and load the important information stored within the SysnativeBSODApps directory and subdirectories. This should clean up some of the file storage for the apps and make it a little easier to port between systems without adding excess files to each system's SysnativeBSODApps directory. This is especially helpful to people like you and John G. who save downloaded files and other files into the SysnativeBSODApps directory.
