| lost my code's on new install |

I installed the new version over my older version and found that all of my files and programms that were within the CCS folder were deleted with the new version (V3.248). 
I can only say that I had backed up the CCS directory the day before. I still had everything minus some changes. 
I now have a seperate directory that is not within the CCS directory for all of my codes.

This type of errors is recurrent. This would be avoided if during the installation,
the new folder name by default instead of PICC as always, it could be PICx.xxx
being x.xxx the version ID.

Is this a real problem with vs. 3.248 or is this a user error ?
I haven't had any problems with previous versions of CCS.
All my projects are stored within the CCS directory, like this:
| Code: |
C:\Program Files
-----\Picc
--------\Projects
-----------\Tachometer
-----------\Game Controller
-----------\Flex_lcd
etc. |
Are you saying that if I install vs. 3.248, then all my project files
will be deleted ? |

I never had a problem before until now, however now I think it is wise to keep the projects coding out of a directory that gets updataed (just in case)
| Code: | C:\Program Files
-----\Picc
--------\examples
-----------\Test AD
-----------\input output
-----------\etc
--------\Projects
-----------\Airlock
-----------\AC Control
-----------\Multi IO Function
etc. |
this is simular to what i had at the time, yes this could be some human error I found that as my licence for updated had expired, I am in the process with purchaseing a new 1 year mainenance. (when the log on gets sorted out)

The CCS installer doesn't delete any files in the target directory.

I backed up my entire PICC directory on a CD-ROM, and then
installed version 3.248 of the PCM and PCH command-line
compilers. It didn't affect my source files at all. They are
still there. So I don't see any problem. |
