FYI:

You Should Have used a New Empty Folder for Code::Blocks Nightly.

i was scared to loose something that is maybe nessesary :(

do you think that now something is wrong?
i did copy all files of every folder from the night build to the coresponding c:B folder and did click overwrite all
and its working
so i did not loose the docs which are in the official instalation file but not in the night build
and also the uninstall file is not lost which is not in the night build... and maybe some files more

i think the uninstall and the docs can maybe be usefull to me at a other time

but after i did copy all files i also think that the idea was more to replace the whole folder and not every file in all the folders lol

Mixing files of different software versions can lead to unexpected errors, becaue of incompatible libraries.

C::B does not save any configuration in it's executable folder or below.
It uses configuration files in the user folder.

Denro:
OK with the next night build i will do what you suggest...
i will back up the uninstaller and the docs and then i will replace the whole c::b folder
then i will put the docs and the uninstaller back to where they should be...

but i realy did replace all files so all old files got overwriten with new files
so i hope now that if some thing is searching files in CB it will take the new one and if there is no new one it will maybe find a older one which was not replaced because it was not in the night build

i mean if i would have done as i should i would have loss my docs folder too
now i still have it ... somehow i did also abuse the docs folder for some additional help files, they would be also gone now

...maybe interessting would be...

can i put the Docs folder, the Localization folder (with translation of CB) and the Template folder to the User\appdata folder?
if i do so will CB find the templates, the docs and the Localization?

that would be perfect :D
