Release State: Released
Release Version: 5.1.3.0
Installation Package: OPCServerSetup.msi

AlphaCom OPC Server 5.1.3.x (2010-09-17)

Important Note about Upgrading from version 5.0.x.x.

Due to bug "BZ 406 OPC Server Windows 7 Compatible", and good programming practices, the location of the OPCServer configuration file needed to be moved from Program Data Folder to Application Data Folder. It is not implemented any automatic transfer of the configuration file, so after an upgrade either the old config files needs to copied manually to its new location, or the configuration needs to be re-done with the new AlphaComOPCConfigurator tool (v 2.1.3.0).
Note! After a manual copy the configuration should be verified in the new AlphaComOPCConfigurator tool.

AlphaCom OPC Server 5.1.3.1 (2010-10-10)

AlphaCom OPC Server 5.1.3.0 (2010-09-17)

Old Configuration file: 

C:\Program Files\STENTOFON\AlphaCom OPC Server\Stentofon.AlphaCom.AlphaNet.Config.OPC.xml

The location of the new configuration file depends on OS version and other enviromnet setups (using variable Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData).
Typical locations: 

WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Stentofon\SDK\Stentofon.AlphaCom.AlphaNet.Config.OPC.xml
Win7 : C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Stentofon\SDK\Stentofon.AlphaCom.AlphaNet.Config.OPC.xml
