INSTALLATION / UPGRADE NOTES

If installing CUE 5.0 as a fresh, clean install please make the following notes:

Default application path provided during the install is C:\Program Files\CUE 5.0\

All Application Configuration, Plug-in, Skins and Support Files are stored in C:\MyDocuments\CUE 5.0

**VERY IMPORTANT – EXTERNAL DRIVE USERS**

You should have your COMPLETE gig ready computer setup connected before launching CUE 5.0 for the first time.

When upgrading to CUE 5.0 the default application path stays the same and the new application configuration, plug-in, skins, and support files are copied to C:\MyDocuments\CUE 5.0. Since VISTA does not like applications writing data to the Program Files folders, the Development Team moved these entries to a more accessible location so they wouldn’t be placed in the Microsoft managed hidden folders profile environment.

*For Power Users who have changed the location of their MyDocuments from the default

Microsoft setting (C:\MyDocuments), your new/copied files are stored there in the CUE 5.0 folder.

The NEW core CUE 5.0 Database is now titled CUE 5.0 Database.xml and is stored in the following locations:

Windows XP: C:\MyDocuments\CUE 5.0

Windows VISTA C:\_UserName\Documents\CUE 5.0

The NEW CUE 5.0 Database system segments the database to each drive attached to the system. Each additional database file will be found on the ROOT of that drive and is titled CUE 5.0 Local Database.xml.

Upgrade note: Because of the ‘split’ database files and depending on the size of the v4.x database XML, the

FIRST LAUNCH of CUE 5.0 after upgrading may act like it has stopped at the applications splash screen. Please be patient and look for activity on the hard drive(s). CUE 5.0 is reading the v4.x database and splitting the various entries across the respective hard drives of the system.

What is stored in the NEW Database files?

Path to the file

Analyzed data about the tracks

ID3Tag Display Information

Automix Information

The ‘split’ database files provide users of external hard drives the ability to COLD or HOT SWAP drives between single or multiple systems. This allows for multiple DJs of a club or venue to utilize 1 CUE 5.0 installation and not have different OS logins in order to maintain separate databases unique to each DJ. Now, the DJ just walks in plugs in the external device and begins playing.
