Output directory

[Bobby Wise]

Where does FET store the setting for the output directory?

I would like to change mine to c:\fet\results but have to change it on every instalation. Is there someway that I can set it so that it stays the same for every school?

Thanks & cheers

Under Windows, this is stored in the registry.

Run FET, then search the registry (with regedit.exe) for the value "fet". There is a section fet, with subsection fettimetabling.

I think you could make a script to modify the registry, even before running FET. You need to write the "output-directory" string, but you also need to make sure you write the string "version" with a corresponding value (you may write any value in the form "v.v.v"), because otherwise FET thinks the registry does not contain FET and creates new keys, even for output-directory.
