Meaningless QC MOTD.
Jason Cipriani
====
06/16/2008 - Effective immediately, all references to "qc.borland.com"
should be updated to point to "qc.codegear.com" for all QualityCentral
clients. For the standard QualityCentral Windows client, the
QualityCentral.ini file (found in the same directory as the executable) is
all that needs to be updated.
The browser interface for QualityCentral is http://qc.codegear.com.
Other clients will have this configuration information in other places.
Check the documentation for other QC clients to find out how to configure
them.

Ok, here's a better idea: Release a QC update that makes this change so the
client downloader gets it, and that way I don't need to hunt around for a
configuration file that doesn't actually exist (same directory as *what*
executable?). What is this message talking about anyway? What am I supposed
to do with it?
Thanks,
Jason

Presumably, update any browser bookmarks/shortcuts you have, and also
update any links on web pages that you have, that point to the old URL.

So, what's QualityCentral.ini? It was mentioned explicitly, it said I needed
up update it, so I'm assuming I'm going to have to do something to it to
keep the QC client working, according to the message.

It's located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application
Data\QualityCentral

Well, there is one there, but I followed the instructions and changed
the one in the same folder as QualityCentral.exe and everything works
properly. I checked and the change is also contained in the Docs and
Settings ini file, but that one shows the date that I last used the
program and the one with the exe shows the date I made the edit.

Why do you have one in the same place as QualityCentral.exe and I don't?

I agree that the message should have been more explanative.
We around here, are accustomed to terse statements, often
forgetting that we should be aiming to getting our message
across to 99% or so of the readers. --JohnH

Conversations like this remind me of the parlor game
"Twenty questions".

The QC client does update a lot of those refs itself automatically.
However, we can't guarantee everyone will get the new client before the
URL is no longer valid. How do we help those people?

Possibly by giving them meaningful instructions referencing configuration
files that actually exist.

I can only assume that it's because I had an earlier version of QC
installed that kept its ini file in the same folder as the exe.
Interesting and convenient that QC still reads the file - I have it
installed on an external HD and the change is effective on any
computer I run it from. Personally, I think all programs should be
transportable like that, but Microsoft has other ideas.

Prior to 'Vista' the .ini and the .exe were in the same directory.
Vista won't allow that when you install the .exe in the 'program files'
directory tree.

XP also only allows it with admin rights.
That is with read write acces.
