Configuration

Loki Control is automatically configured as part of the Installation process.

Configuration File

Installation creates and populates a configuration file called lokicontrol.ini which the application uses on startup. On a fresh installation (when the .ini file does not exist) some fields are populated from user input during install.

You will usually not need to view or change this file.

Configuration File : lokicontrol.ini
Location : C:\Loki\VERSION\lokicontrol

VERSION will change depending on the version of the Loki application installed (e.g. 2014_1).

We will refer to this folder as the INSTALLFOLDER in this document.

C:\Program Files\Loki\2014_1\loki.exe
