I have to reinstall Framemaker 12 on my Win7 system. Before I<br>> do so, I am creating a list of all of the files that I need to back<br>> up so that I can restore all of my customization after I reinstall.<br>> Here is my list so far (not including all of the add-ins and scripts<br>> that are unique to my installation).<br>><br>> Back up the following from<br>> C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Framemaker\12<br>> Folder WorkSpaces (specifically the .cfsw and .fws files)<br>> Folder Linguistics<br>> File consfile.txt<br>> File maker.ini<br>> File pdfsize.ini<br>><br>> Back up the following from C:\Program Files<br>> (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12<br>> Folder Templates<br>> Folder fminit<br>> Folder plugins<br>> maker.ini<br>><br>> Any others? I will post the final list somewhere that will serve as a<br>> resource to the rest of us; I've had no luck searching for such a<br>> list on Adobe or by Googling.<br>><br>> Two additional questions: Does anyone know if backing up the<br>> WorkSpaces folder REALLY allows you to retrieve your custom<br>> workspaces after reinstall? I vaguely remember having a problem with<br>> this when I upgraded to FM12. And do I need to deactivate my current<br>> installation before reinstalling it on the same computer?<br>><br>> Carol<br><br>________________________________<br><br>This e-mail contains privileged and confidential information intended for the use of the addressees named above.
