Manual installation wiki not correct #155

Closed michaelkonecny closed 3 years ago

michaelkonecny commented 3 years ago

In Setup -> Manual installation in the wiki, you advise people to copy the jar files into C:\Programme\Matlab\MEP\ which most people will probably understand as C:\Program Files\.... Later you say to copy DefaultProps.properties and CustomProps.properties to the same folder. However, at least CustomProps has to be user-writable (without administrator privileges), otherwise MEP throws an error on startup.

It might be better to tell people to copy everything to a user-writable folder, e.g. %appdata%\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2020b\MEP\, or at least tell them specifically to put CustomProps to a different (user-writable folder).

I would have created a pull-request for this, but apparently there isn't a way of doing that for a project's Wiki, so I had to "spam" you this way.

Thank you, enjoy the holidays!

Thank you for pointing it out. I updated the wiki accordingly.
