Call 838043 - Winco Industries

I got around this by two ways.

One I modified the standard VTG files to reference a different ini file
which I call vanbase.ini, that way even if the vantage.ini is modified it
does not affect most users. Second, I found that if you change the access
permissions on the ini files to read-only for everyone (even you) then the
installs won't try (or simply can't) modify the file. Whenever you need to
make changes you simply change the permissions, make your changes and then
set them back. These methods seem to work pretty well without too much
effort.

SUGGESTED ENHANCEMENT:
Custom parameter is being overwritten in the Propath line of the Vantage.ini
file, (sample: PROPATH=.,W:\Custom,W:\Vantage), every time a client install
is done.
Each time a client install is ran, the Vantage.ini file must be edited so
the Custom programming will be used.
PURPOSE:
I would like to see a check box added to the Vantage, so when a client
install is done Vantage will know the Custom parameter should be put back
into the .INI file.
It's a real hassle trying to remember to put the option back in every time
there is an install. If it is forgotten the Custom programming is not used.

You could change "Vantage.ini" file property to "Read Only", it's working fine for us. The only annoying thing about it is that
every time you open Report Builder session it reminds you that "Vantage.ini" file is not writable and it will not save the changes
you make to the RB defaults.
Of course check box is great idea. May be we should ask Custom Programming to add that function if any customizations are needed.
