How to change the location of the Temp/working folder?

The Temp and working folder

WindSim can perform badly and there can be other issues and bugs due to the working folder that WindSim is using. If WindSim is using a onedrive or a folder which other programs are using and backing up, or antivirus it can cause bugs due to locking and freezing of temporary files.

Changing the UserDataFolder:

You could change the location of Temp/working folder by modifying the Environment.xml file. The Temp folder is made under the UserDataFolder.

  1. Make sure WindSim is closed.
  2. Navigate to C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\WindSim\1200 and open Environment.xml file with notepad.
  3. Locate line 8 and modify the path after <UserDataFolder>.
  4. Save the file and start WindSim to make it work.
