Creating Template

PHPRunner General questions

I just finished up a nice project and I wanted to create a template so I can use it again later for a different company. I saved as template and gave it a name. It told me it was saved in the phprunner 4.2 subdirectory for templates. I go to the directory and there is nothing there, yet I can select it in the opening page when I am selecting which project to use.
Any ideas of where it might store the files?

Kim,
Please zip your project file and database creation script and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your files.

I am assuming the database script is what is created when you click the box for saving the tables when you create the template. Problem is I can't find those files, the ones that I saved as a template. YET if I go to phprunner it show it as a selection on the opening screen. so how would I zip you something I can't find. I am sorry this sounds stupid.

Do a search in C:\Program files\PHPRunner4.2 for your new template name. Make sure to include subfolders in this search.

i finally found it! this is very strange it has to be a vista thing. I changed all my file options on my windows vista to hide nothing and show everything. Then I did a search on the entire c drive. I found it at this location: C:\Users\rickman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business
I don't understand why would it go here? and not show up in my normal program files\phprunner4.2\template\business directory?

What is more strange is that the only program directory/files in this directory: lang, projects, source, templates. None of the other program files are located at this directory?
C:\Users\rickman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\
This is so bazzar, I did not tell it to save here? I wanted them saved in the normal phprunner4.2 directory and it does not give me that option. It forces them here.

Templates are saved to Templates\Business directory. This way PHPRunner can find them. I hope this makes sense.

I do understand and that is where I expected them to be. But Vista and PHPRunner for some strange reason saves them in different locations.
This is where it is suppose to be with the other business templates: C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business
But there is a magical directory that only my templates end up in when I save them from phprunner software. The templates show up in the open screen in phprunner to choose, but my template files are not accessible in the template/business directory with the original ones that were installed with the software. Instead they end up at this root directory and sub directory: C:\Users\rickman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business
Notice the difference in the root directories, not the same location. Now that is one that can make you pull your hair out.
C:\Users\rickman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business (Actual location that my templates end up, none of the original installed ones are located here. JUST MINE )
C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business (This is the location they should be at with the original templates are located)
Does that make sense? I am at a loss why there is some other directory being used here. I have no place to correct it so the correct location is used, because phprunner does not give me a choice. (my only choice is what I want to name the template)

You may want to copy your template from C:\Users\rickman\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business to C:\Program Files\PHPRunner4.2\templates\business manually.
