1.    Open the Executable Settings dialog box, or click Settings in the Run Program dialog box.

2.    Select the Files tab.

3.    Specify the directory to use for cached files, each time you run the selected program.

4.    Specify the search path to use to locate source files, each time you run the selected program.

5.    Specify the file name to use to save the instrumented version of the executable, each time you run the selected program.

6.    Specify any additional options you want to use each time you run the selected program.

Notes:

§      By default, the Purify cache directory is used.

§      If you don't specify a search path, Purify uses the following order to locate source files:

1.    The directory where the .exe file is located.

2.    The search path specified in the Files tab in the Settings for exename dialog box.

3.    The directories specified in the Visual Studio Workspace file.

4.    The search path specified in the Files tab in the Default Settings dialog box.

5.    The MFC and Visual C++ directories.

6.    The Path environment variable.

§      If you don't specify an instrumented file name, Purify uses the default name (the cache directory, the encoded path of the original file, and other information used by Purify).

§      Purify saves settings for the current program in the Exename_pure.ini. These settings apply each time you run the selected executable, until you change a setting.

§      To set default settings that apply to all programs, use the Default Settings dialog box.
