Well, CMC itself doesn't really have an original folder name. It just lives where you unzip it. I normally put it in CMC, but I notice that you like to name it for the version. That's fine and all, but can lead to problems with CCC.
Now, CCC.exe lives in a folder named CCC, which is inside of that CMC folder.
And Ratings.xml lives inside a folder named data, which lives inside CCC.
Said a clearer way, assuming you unzipped CMC to C:\CMC7.1\, then I would expect to see:
and
- C:\CMC7.1\CCC\data\Ratings.xml
Which takes us back to your error message screenshot, where it complained about Ratings.xml being missing:
- C:\CMC_7.0.2023\Data\Ratings.xml
That's what originally popped out at me, it's complaining about Data inside the CMC directory, not the CCC directory.
It almost seems like you are slightly confusing CCC with CMC. You definitely moved some stuff. Or maybe you extracted the contents of the CCC directory directly to a folder named CMC_7.0.2023.
Where you can get in trouble with this is two-fold. While CMC.exe stores all the settings locally in the CMC directory, CCC stores all its settings in the Windows Registry. So if you move or rename or otherwise mess with the filepaths for CCC, the registry values get borked.
But worse than that, the Windows Shared Folder that gets setup by CCC get really messed up, as in orphaned data, if you change anything with the path. This is not a CCC issue, but rather a Windows issue, since it is Windows that gets freaked out if you changed the path to an already shared folder.
Hopefully some of that info gives you an idea where things went wrong.
Do note that simply deleting the folder and starting from scratch may not be the solution you hope it to be, for the same reasons described above. If you recreate the file paths correctly, then all is good. But if you recreate them differently, then borked it will remain.
I have some info somewhere here on the forum about correcting windows shared folders and deleting the registry entries if you want to start fresh. If you can't find it, let me know and I will help.
