Hello,
I'm currently in the process of upgrading from FB5 to FB6 which also includes installing on a new machine. On the existing installation there are lots of user variables and to save me a lot of time i'd like to migrate them over to the new installation on the new machine - does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thank you,
I resolved this by creating a blank project in fb5 opening up the variables moving them all to project variables (from user), saving the project, moving it to the new machine, opening the project in fb6, then reversing the process by moving them all back to user variables.
I hope that helps anyone else in the same situation.
Regards,
Hi Ian
Sorry for the delay in replying, glad to see you found a workable solution. The User variables are migrated across when you first install and run FB6 on a machine that has FB5 installed.
The user variables are stored in a file named FBUserVariables.ini which lives here :
On Vista :
C:\Users[UserNane]\AppData\Roaming\FinalBuilder5
On XP :
c:\Documents and Settings[UserName]\Application Data\FinalBuilder5
The file can be copied to the corresponding FinalBuilder6 folder, however it’s probably best to use a merge tool to make sure you don’t override any user variables already defined in FB6.
