The problem with installing into C:\Weatherlink is that if you have
Windows 8.1 File History won't backup the data and I don't think it is
possible to configure file history to include this directory - if anyone
knows otherwise I am sure they will say that I am wrong.
==============================================

If you want automatic backup then the best answer (IMO of course) is still
to install the software to C:\Weatherlink (to make subsequent software
updates simpler). It may be quaint, but it's simple and it works. But, as
suggested above, to create the station folder (ie where all the weather data
files are located) in the folder location of your choice. Yes My Documents
is one option. But Onedrive is another good option these days so that you
can get cloud backup.

In a different galaxy, without doubt Davis should rewrite the software so
that it does once again install into \Program Files\ but with configuration
files being written to eg one of the AppData folders and perhaps Station
folders being located by default within Onedrive. But I'm not sure that
anything is likely to happen on that front imminently, given that AIUI the
future direction of WL is under more fundamental review.
