Where is RTG Bills installed?

Q: How can I tell where RTG Bills is installed?

A: Start RTG Bills and choose File > Upgrade > Yes to start RTG Upgrade. Click the Details button. At the top of the Details window, you will see the Program location and the Data location.

Click OK to leave this window, then Close to exit from RTG Upgrade. RTG Bills will start again.

Note 1:

The standard program location for RTG Bills Version 2 is:

C:\Program Files\Rtgbills

For RTG Bills Version 2.17 and above we recommend you use this location, whether or not you are installing RTG Bills on a network.

The standard location for Version 1 was C:\Rtgbills, so if you originally had Version 1, even if you've upgraded to Version 2, it might still be in the old location.

Note 2:

The standard data location for RTG Bills Version 2.17 and above is:

For Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RTG\RTG Bills\

For Windows Vista and Windows 7:
C:\ProgramData\RTG\RTG Bills\

These are hidden folders. You can change a setting in Windows to make them visible.

However, on a network, the data will be in a shared folder accessible to other computers. For example, it might be in the folder \\MyServer\Rtgbills, where Rtgbills is a folder somewhere on the network and MyServer is the name of the file server where it is located.

Note 3:

Prior to RTG Bills Version 2.17, the programs and data were always located in the same place. For a non-networked computer, that location was likely to be:

C:\Program Files\Rtgbills

For a networked computer, the location would be somewhere on the network, such as  \\MyServer\Rtgbills.
