2. User Database File Path

On Windows 7 and Windows 10 systems, the path to the user database file is as follows:

• Path format:

  %userprofile%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EEM Calibrator system\geny soft\emcs\database
  

  • %userprofile%: This is a Windows environment variable that represents the current user's home directory. For example, for a user named szh, this variable typically corresponds to C:\Users\szh.
  • AppData\Local\VirtualStore: This is part of Windows' virtual storage mechanism, which redirects files written to protected directories (like Program Files) to the user's directory when the application lacks sufficient permissions.
  • Program Files (x86)\EEM Calibrator system\geny soft\emcs\database: This is the relative path where the Geny EEM software stores its database files.

• Example path:

  C:\Users\szh\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EEM Calibrator system\geny soft\emcs\database
  

  Here, szh is the username of the logged-in user.

3. Configuration File Path

The configuration files are stored in a similar location, but under a different folder:

• Path format:

  %userprofile%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EEM Calibrator system\geny soft\emcs\inifiles
  

  • inifiles: This folder contains the configuration files, typically in .ini format, which store the software's settings and parameters.

• Example path:

  C:\Users\szh\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EEM Calibrator system\geny soft\emcs\inifiles

4. Role of VirtualStore

In Windows, VirtualStore is a compatibility mechanism. When an application attempts to write files to protected system directories (like Program Files) without administrator privileges, Windows automatically redirects these write operations to the VirtualStore folder under the user's directory. This ensures the application can function properly while keeping the system directories secure.

Summary

• Database file path: Stored in the database folder, which contains user data generated by the software.
• Configuration file path: Stored in the inifiles folder, which contains the software's settings and configuration parameters.
• To access these files, you can copy the path containing %userprofile% into the File Explorer. The system will automatically resolve %userprofile% to the current user's home directory.

This information helps users locate the relevant files for backup, migration, or manual configuration changes.
