Phoenix:Main/Environment
This page describes the way the Phoenix environment is set up by the installation program. The environment refers to :
- Environment variables
- Folder locations
The following folders are used for the installation :
| C:\Phoenix | The base application installation. Folders common to any {VERSION} installed, where {VERSION} might be 2013_3, 2015_1 etc. The License folder is found here. |
| C:\Phoenix\{VERSION} | The base installation folder for this {VERSION}. e.g. C:\Phoenix\2014_3 |
| C:\Phoenix\{VERSION}\root | The ROOT folder (see below) |
The installer itself is copied to C:\Phoenix\Releases. Do not run the installer from here or you will get an install error near the end (due to this copying process).
ROOT Folder
We store important application data in the ROOT folder, including the preference files we use.
Preference files are stored in folders :
- Presets\
- System\
- Users\
See the User Preferences section for more information on how the preference folders are used.
The installer sets up some environment variables. These are used to specify some important locations, as shown below.
| PHOENIX_LICENSE_DIR | Defaults to :
C:\Phoenix\License Any .flic file will be treated and loaded as a license file. |
| PHOENIX_ROOT_V{VERSION} | Defaults to :
C:\Phoenix\{VERSION}\root where {VERSION} is application version installed (e.g. 2015_3). |
| PHOENIX_PRECISIONPANEL | Defaults to :
|
| PHOENIX_VALHALLPANEL | Defaults to : 192.168.64.2 (if selected in installer) |
| PHOENIX_TANGENTPANEL | Defaults to : 1 (if selected in installer) |
| PHOENIX_KEYBOARD | Set as "UK" or "US" (as selected in installer) |
You should be cautious when changing any of these environment variables as it may cause the application to malfunction.
Changing the ROOT setting (PHOENIX_ROOT_V{VERSION}) will cause the application to search the specified folder for preferences instead of the default folder.
