`Program Files` installation folder restrictions.
ExoCharts does not support installing the `Program Files` and `Program Files (x86)` folders.
Exocharts is heavy data-driven software. Due to our integrity requirements, we need to collect market data in the Exocharts installation folder. The operating system security layer restricts Exocharts from writing into system folders. Therefore we don't support the installation to the 'Program Files' and' Program Files (x86)' folders.
The benefit of this it's easy to maintain multiple running instances. Simply copy the `Installation Folder` to another location and run another instance from there. If you need to upgrade the copy of the instance, copy and paste everything from the original installation folder, except `DAO` Folder.
The 'DAO' folder contains: all the user data, templates and downloaded market history.
