Hello, I have installed the QCAD 3.0 Trial version (Windows XP Pro) last week, bought and installed then the 3.0 RC5 (4.7.4) Full Version - uninstalled the Trial first.
Problem: the QCAD Library Browser still searches the library under /QCAD Professional Trial/library/... (directory was automatically properly deleted by uninstall routine).
Is there anywhere a config file for instance to change the settings? Thank you in advance, flood'

hi and welcome floodfill
Try removing the 'roaming data' file.
1. Un-install again.
2.In Windows search field type in %appdata% and open the Roaming folder.
3.Right-click on the Ribbonsoft folder and delete the lot! (QCAD will simply rebuild this folder on your next install).
4.Now reinstall.

You might simply be able to change the library browser path in the preferences of the library browser:
- start the library browser
- Edit - Preferences
- Remove the wrong path from the list of sources
- You can optionally add new paths but QCAD defaults to the library included with QCAD if nothing is configured
clive:
QCAD only uses the Registry to make the connection between .dxf / .dwg files and QCAD. All configuration is stored in .ini files.

@andrew and @clive: Thank you, please mark problem as *solved*!
Used the solution by andrew. I have started the browser, waiting, holding down the enter key until the "errors" are gone and the QCAD Library Browser will open. Changed settings to new directory.
