NEXSTORM LITE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
This section will briefly explain the organization of NexStorm Lite folders and subfolders and the contents that
can be found in each folder. The NexStorm Lite installation folder, sometimes also referred to as home
directory, is created by the installation program and the actual location on disk is chosen by the user during
the installation process. If you the application was installed in the default directory suggested by the installer,
your NexStorm Lite files will be located in C:\Program Files\Astrogenic\NexStormLite\.
The listing below applies to the directory structure found inside the installation folder irrespective of its location
on the hard drive.

hot-swappable, if you receive a newer version of the control parameters file from us
you will not need to restart NexStorm Lite to replace the file, just drop the new cpd.0
file in this folder while NexStorm Lite is running.
