FreeCommander Forum

I copy old version(2014, build 650)'s FreeCommander.ini to new version(2015 build 685), the software can not be run.
It is a tough work to move all customize setting from old version to new version by hand.

Could somebody help me? Thanks!

I'm afraid there's no easy way: http://forum.freecommander.com/viewtopi ... =18&t=6437

Apparently, you are naming wrong versions

The first time FC XE 2015 was introduced - was version 680, NOT version 652!

There should be no problems updating from FC XE 650 to 652 (if you have some, please update version on source PC and see what happens).

But it's impossible to update from version 2009 to XE.

@standin000: sorry, I read your message on the diagonal! I thought you were referring to the old 2009 version. There should be no problem using the .ini file from version 650 public with version 685 (latest public version). Try the portable version, please: http://freecommander.com/downloads/Free ... rtable.zip

@joby_toss Sorry, I put the wrong no for new version, the version is 2015 Build 685.

I have upload old version of ini file into https://mega.co.nz/#!FVEEWBYL!AdQRv4OOI ... z8tf7QOCpA, don't find attachment option in forum.

Thanks very much!

Tested your .ini and I'd like to ask you to open it and delete this line:
Tell us if it works after that. For some reason, this line makes version 685 impossible to start (at least in my case).

@joby_toss

Very strange. I have setting OneInstance=1 from immemorial time and never had problems with FC XE start.

My .ini also has it. But I've tried his .ini with a fresh copy of FC XE 685 public portable and that's what happened. Can anyone else try it?

With OneInstance=1 you can start only one program instance.
If your instance was running, then the second instance was not started.

Since I can always run multiple portable versions of FC simultaneously (with the default 0 setting for that option), I didn't think of that, but you're obviously right, Marek.

But maybe standin000 did the same mistake as I did and maybe changing that value from 1 to 0 fixes his issue.

Thanks very much, it is this option!

I run new version freecommander from old version freecommander, so if oneinstance=1, the new one can not be run, but default value is 0, so it is not version problem.

Thanks again!
