I am using microvision on Windows and I am surprised that the packs install to User\Appdata\Local\....
Is there a way to tell the pack installer to install to a different directory? I would think that I would like to install to a more "global" directory so that the entire software tree is visible to multiple users on my team - and not have each person install fundamental files to a unique location on each of their machines. The situation is made worse in that the vendor has placed the RTE_Device.h (and other files) in this location and has instructed me to edit them for certain configurations. I feel like I am missing something fundamental about the pack as I can't see User\Appdata\Local\.... as a useful place to store code that will be edited as part of a development/production process.
So ... is there a way to change the pack installation directory? And ... how do others handle pack installation and distribution for a team development environement?
Thanks again - to be clear, I have made new projects as well as copied example projects. I agree that one shouldn't edit the files in the pack. I guess that is why I am so confused about how the pack is distributed and how the pack install directory isn't easily changeable. If I want to have my entire team to share the same codebase - then this pack needs to be placed in an area that isn't isolated on a single machine (neither the Appdata/Local nor the tool install directory C:\Keil_v5). I guess I will change the directory using the TOOLS.INI and have everyone on the team do the same.
I am curious how others are handling this is they want to have production code where they can revision control and archive the entire build. Again - I figured this would be such a standard thing to do - and I was looking for the "proper" way to do it. Somehow, editing TOOLS.INI seems like a bit of a hack.
This solution is also useful is your Windows username changes. You have to go into TOOLS.INI and update the username in the path.
