Installing CA Gen on the Windows Platform › C Application Configuration File Directories

C Application Configuration File Directories

Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 introduced a new security model, User Account Control (UAC), to improve operating system security. The directories in which CA Gen stores C application configuration files changed to support the new security model. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 store files in different directories. The following lists define the directories:

• in which Windows formerly stored the file, if that directory existed on the system
• the directory in which Windows 7 stores the file
• the directory in which Windows Server 2008 stores the file

Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

CA Gen stores the following files, used by the GUI Runtime, in the following directories:

• iefgdic.ini
  • %IEFGDIC% (if defined)
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\CA\Gen xx\cfg\client (per user)
  • %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\CA\Gen xx\cfg\client (per system)

  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\CA\Gen xx\cfg\client (per user)
  • %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\CA\Gen xx\cfg\client (per system)
