SIMS.ini

This file is found in the Windows directory on SIMS workstations and is used by PARS to locate various folders. To access the file click Start->Run, type "SIMS.ini" (no quotes) and hit Enter.

The lines that are important to PARS are:

[Setup]
SIMSDirectory=s:\sims
SIMSDotNetDirectory=c:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net
SIMSSetupsDirectory=s:\sims\setups

If any of these are incorrect then there is likely to be a problem when loading PARS.

The file can be edited with a text editor such as Notepad.
