PCOMM v13.0.1.0

The problem is that the first time that a .srl file is to be saved to disk it initially opens in C:\users\<user_id>\appdata\roaming\IBM\Personnal Communications directory. We would like this to initially open at H:\ eliminating the chance of corruption or loss of .srl files saved or previously stored before the upgrade to v13.0.1.0.

    Hi,

    With PCOMM v13.0.1.0 and above, following new feature has been introduced.

    Link: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQ5Y_14.0.0/com.ibm.pcomm.doc/readme/readV130.html#Installation%20enhancements
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Custom Application Data Location
    At the time of installation, PCOMM allowed administrators to choose between -

    1. User's application data folder ([UserProfile]\Application Data)
    2. All users' common application data folder (All Users\Application Data)

    With this release, PCOMM installation wizard has been updated with an option for the administrators to specify a custom application data location. This feature works similar to "All users common application data folder" where the administrators can specify a different path while installing the software. This can also be achieved with silent installation. The CUSAPPDATALOC property in the initialization (response) file generated using ONLYINI defines the behaviour.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    If you use this new customer application data location feature during installation, you should be able to specify a path other than the product standard paths.
    Please let us know if this addresses the reported problem.
