Finding the .exe on WinXP for users with GM installed locally (for some GM versions, not all versions actually have GM installed on the local machine)


Fix:

Right click on GM shortcut icon on user's machine, hit Properties and look for the file path next to "find target". Copy the filepath into a windows explorer viewer, minus the ...goldmine.exe portion, this should take you to the location of the .exe file on the user's machine

Once you get there, you need the .exe file, gm.ini and (goldmine username).ini files to be there. If they are not, run a search of the users machine to find the missing files, and copy them into that location. Once all three files are in the same place, copy the .exe file path into the CL config for "Executable File". Don?t touch the database tab, it should be detected automatically if the .ini files are in the correct location
