[Coco] VCC isues.

[Bill Pierce]

The current version of VCC stores the ".ini" file in "~home~/appdatta/roaming/VCC" as required by Windows 7-10. In Windows Vista or earlier, you'll find it in "My Documents/VCC".
If you created an ini file manually in "Program Files (x86)/VCC xxx" then it will not use this file. It's preferrable NOT to manually edit the ini file as all the settings can be accessed from the Config menu.

We actually have a new release ready to go, but I just haven't posted it to the site yet.

BTW... for those not on the FaceBook Coco group, VCC has had several upgrades in the past 2 years and is better than ever.
!!!PLEASE READ THE MANUAL FOR DETAILS!!!

Just got latest VCC from https://github.com/VCCE/VCC/releases
thanks for the info Curtis.

I set it up in Windows7 and it worked nice, however when I came back
later after a  Windows7 reboot all the settings were gone and I dont see 
a
vcc.ini file. Any Idea what I am doing wrong really don't want to have 
to
redo all the settings every day to use it.

Charlie
