Where does InstaCode install its files.
IC Windows from 2026
Program files are installed to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WH Software\IC11
Data files are installed to:
C:\ProgramData\WH Software\IC11
| Folder | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Custom | Contains ICCustom.fdb which contains all user data. | This database is installed if not present, but is never removed or overwritten. If you are using a Shared Custom DB installation, this file may be present on your computer but not used because InstaCode is configured to use the shared database on another computer. |
| Data | Contains InstaCode data files. | All files are installed by the InstaCode setup and replaced with any update. |
| Lic | Contains your license. | The licence files are specific to the computer and cannot be moved to another computer. |
| UserArchive | Contains backup files produced when InstaCode closes. | You should backup the contents of this folder. |
| UserUpgrade | Contains custom data extracted from the previous InstaCode version (pre-2026). | The data file produced from an old InstaCode will be imported then removed when InstaCode is run. |
You should regularly backup the contents of this folder:
C:\ProgramData\WH Software\IC11\UserArchive
This file should be backed up regularly when it is not in use by InstaCode:
C:\ProgramData\WH Software\IC11\Custom\ICCustom.fdb
