Hi Burr,

Yes, that's the default behavior.

If you have copied the moi.ini file into the same location as moi.exe and it has write access to the file then it will use the one that is in the same folder as moi.exe .
When MoI starts up, it first checks if there was a moi.ini file passed in as a command line parameter to MoI.exe, if there was then that's what it will use.
If there was no command-line parameter for the .ini file then it next checks if there is a moi.ini file in the same folder as moi.exe and if it has write access to that file it will use that one.
If neither of those cases are set up then it will use appdata.
Some things to check if you're seeing different behavior in this beta:
- in the previous beta did you pass in a moi.ini filename as a command-line parameter to moi.exe and this isn't set up for the new beta?
- did you copy a moi.ini file into the same folder as moi.exe for the new beta but not done the same for the new beta?
- did you set the previous beta to run with elevated admin privileges (to have write access to the Program Files folder which is denied by default) but haven't got the same set on the new beta?
