Can I move my DimPro Programs?
I've finally gotten my DimPro 1.5 multisamples squared away. My 32 and 64 bit versions of Dimension Pro are working and can find the programs and multisamples. But my programs are stuck in C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro. I would like them to be next to my multisamples in E:\Samples\Dimension Pro
I've searched here, and poked around the registry and can't find anywhere to specify that I want my programs in that other location. Can it be done?

I haven't heard of anyone doing it, or a way to do it. I'm sure you have a reason, but the programs themselves take a minimum of space,so that shouldn't be the reason.

AT has a strong point. The programs are small in size. I don't know of a guide for re-locating the programs, but the following link will take you to a guide for re-locating the multisamples. Maybe some idea will stir up for you by reading that. http://www.cakewalk.com/support/kb/reader.aspx?ID=2007012978

René had a thread about that when Vista came out. MS convention. I didn't much like it either.

Hmm... I'd just copy and paste them, and make the shortcuts myself. Program files are registered when loaded so just moving won't work if you don't want to install them. The only way of getting everything and still be operational on new system is to use Ghost or a program like it.

The "Content Folder" registry key points to the location of the .prog files and many other resources. It can be changed, but you'll have to more more than just the .prog files. The bitmaps and other resources must be moved as well--guess and check until you've got it. Recommend just leave it alone, though.

Hey Bob, nice Dimension site. Is that new, or am I just dumb? Cool, either way.

The "Content Folder" registry key points to the location of the .prog files and many other resources. Not on my system. Here, "Contents Folder" is pointing to the same location that my "Multisamples Folder" is. But my .prog files are still where the installer put them: "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs" There are no .prog files in my "Contents Folder" location.

Thanks! It is a new site ( http://dimension.technetos.com/ ) but the majority of the content is from items that were tacked onto the old Project5 wiki. After its demise I converted the bulk of the P5-related content over to http://project5.technetos.com/ as a static web site rather than a wiki--it won't get hacked anymore. The non-Project5 related content is being moved into other appropriate sites.

On an XP system,
"HKLM/Software/Cakewalk Music Software/dp/Multisamples Folder" is the registry entry that Dimension Pro uses to find the .ogg, .wav, and .sfz multisample files it uses.
"HKLM/Software/Cakewalk Music Software/dp/Contents Folder" is the registry entry that Dimension Pro uses to find its other resource folders ( /documentation/, /elements/, /midi/, /programs/, /resources/, etc.).
The keys serve the same functions for Dimension Pro 1.5 on Vista/Win7 platform as well, but the folders they keys point to may vary. On the Mac platform these keys are in configuration files.

With v1.5 the "Contents Folder" key doesn't seem to point to where .prog files are stored anymore. It seems to be hard coded. Unless I'm missing something, or it only works on Win XP. On my Win 7 system, no matter where those registry keys are pointing, the .prog files have to be in %programdata%\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Programs Has anyone been able to move their Programs folder for v1.5 to some other location?

My Dimension Pro is 1.5 but it is running on XP 32bit. Both keys are currently pointing to the default location of a default installation.
My experimentation with the Content Folders key was done on XP 32bit. I have not installed and tried it on Win7 64bit.
Perhaps you are running 64bit and the proper registry key that should be modified is slightly different place in the registry?
