I was excited to hear that DM v6 has been released. I downloaded it, installed, and started the program.
The welcome dialog says, "please locate the folder where your older data is stored."
The field there is populated with c:\donor5\data by default, but c:\donor5 doesn't exist on my hard drive.
I do have a c:\Program Files (x86)\donor5 folder, and my DM v5 does seem to be installed there ("C:\Program Files (x86)\donor5\donor5\donor.EXE"). However there's no data folder there. And if I supply "C:\Program Files (x86)\donor5" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\donor5\donor5" as the location of my older data, DM 6 tells me "That does not seem to be a Donor Manager data directory".
I did a search of the whole C: drive, and the only other places that I have a donor5 folder are under VirtualStore:
"C:\Users\lars\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\donor5"
and
"C:\Users\lars\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\donor5\donor5"
Both of these donor5 folders have a data subfolder!
But I can't specify either one of them to the DM 6 welcome dialog, because when I try to use the "Select folder" browser, AppData doesn't appear under C:\Users\lars.
So ... I'm wondering what to do.
- How can I find out which folder DM 5 is actually using when it loads and displays my data?
- Should I move that data folder out of VirtualStore into the real "C:\Program Files (x86)\donor5", so that I can then select it for migration to DM 6?
Thanks for any suggestions, and thanks for all your work on DM.
