GenoPro Support Forum

I cannot change the location of the Skin Folder in the Report Generator Options tab.

The "Options" tab of the "Generate Report" dialogue states:

"By default, theskins are located in the folder named "skins" where GenoProhas been installed. To store the skins in a different location, specify a new value"

Some years ago I installed ProGenoPro2b13 (beta) and created a GenoMap. The skins were, by default, installed in a sub-folder of the "GenoPro Beta" folder. I have recently tried to uninstall the beta version ProGenoPro2b13, but neither Add/Remove Programs nor the uninstall option seemed to delete all of the Beta files so I manually deleted the folder “GenoPro Beta”.  

When I installed GenoPro2016, the folder "C:\Program Files(x86)\GenoPro Beta\Skins" was re-created. It contained all the skins and the path C:\Program Files (x86)\GenoProBeta\Skins\ appeared as the "Folder where the skins are located" in the Generate Report/Options tab “Browse...” box.

All other GenoPro2016 files, apart from the Skins, were installed in the default folder [ C:\Program Files (x86)\GenoPro ]

When I open my old GenoMap in GenoPro2016 the Narrative Report appears to work OK with the Skins located in the “GenoPro Beta\Skins” folder, but I believe it is desirable that the Skins be where they are supposed to be, as described in the above second paragraph, in case it causes a problem if I ever upgrade.

I moved the "Skins" folder to the folder where GenoPro2016 is installed viz [ C:\Program Files (x86)\GenoPro ] and I deleted the path from the "Folder where skins are located" Browse... box, leaving it blank. However, it always reverted to “GenoPro Beta\Skins” when I tried to run the Report Generator. The Report Generator could not find the Skins. After the changes had been made I tried closing and re-opening the Report Generator and I even tried closing and re-opening GenoPro but the path always reverted to “GenoProBeta”.

I also tried changing the path in the "Browse..." box to [C:\Program Files (x86)\GenoPro\skins\ ] but the ReportGenerator still did not find the skins.

So I have had to revert to leaving the Skins in the folder “GenoPro Beta\Skins\”

Incidentally, I see there are ten references to the folder “genopro beta” in the Registry that have not been changed by my attempt to uninstall the beta version. Nor were these entries identified as issues when I ran the registry cleaner "CCleaner".

So the question is, how can I get the Skins to where they should be and have the Report Generator find them?

Could the solution be to change all ten “genopro beta” references inthe Registry to “genopro” or might this create other problems?

My system is Windows 10 (64 bit)
I am using GenoPro 2016 Version3.0.0.2
with the Skin \{EN} Narrative Report\* (2015.07.07) {EN}

I would greatly appreciate help in resolving this problem.

Thanks
