MARKUPX.INI and MARKUP.INI file location and backup


The  MARKUPX.INI or MARKUP.INI  files contain any customization you may have added to the Unisoft software, such as custom BOM importer templates, custom XYR importer templates, custom Assembly Cost quoting templates, display fonts and colors, etc., and it is recommended to backup these files.  

As of Unisoft software version 5.24.0.0, the  MARKUP.INI  file is replaced by the  MARKUPX.INI  file, which is essentially the same file but located in a different directory.

To find the software version when the software is first started, the licensing window will be displayed and the version number will be found there as in the figure below.  After starting the software, clicking HELP then ABOUT will display the same licensing window.

version-1

 

VERSIONS 5.24.0.0 AND NEWER:  For software version 5.24.0.0 or newer, the   MARKUPX.INI   file is usually located in the directory  c:\users\USERXXX\documents\Unisoft , where    USERXXX   is the user account that you are logged into.  It is recommended to backup this file.

 

VERSIONS OLDER THAN 5.24.0.0:  For software versions older than 5.24.0.0, the   MARKUP.INI  file by default is located in the directory   c:\windows\markup.ini .  Note that on some PCs running Windows, the latest copy of your   Markup.ini   file may be in the VirtualStore directory and not in the Windows directory. It is advisable to check this directory and if the  MARKUP.INI  file exists there then backup that copy of the  MARKUP.INI  file because that's where your most recent personal copy of that file resides and not in the Windows directory.  If you do have a VirtualStore directory, it will usually be under your USER directory  c:\user\USERXXX\appdata\local\virtualstore\windows     where    USERXXX   is the user account that you are logged into. And the file you're looking for there is the  MARKUP.INI  file and if the file exists please make a backup copy and not the same file in the Windows directory.
