$Program Files$

Using Windows 7 (64bit) in QM "$Program Files$" expands --> C:\Program Files (x86)

What's the best way to manage this sort of stuff when writing with QM?

Thanks,
jim

It is correct. QM is a 32-bit program and therefore uses this folder.

If you need Program Files used for 64-bit programs, use environment variable ProgramW6432.

Code:

Copy      Help

out _s.expandpath("$program files$")
out _s.expandpath("%ProgramW6432%")

Thank you Gintaras,
