Client local folders
There are two folders created on the client installation. One in Local AppData, for the execution file, and one in ProgramData, for the configuration files.
Info
The configuration files lie in ProgramData to ensure that only one Rimscout instance is present on any device even if multiple users login to a device. The .exe file is seperately stored in AppData because of security considerations.
