Solar Fire installs a copy of the Swiss Ephemeris into a standard location in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder. However, it is possible that you already have a copy of the Swiss Ephemeris in another location on your computer. In this case you can avoid keeping multiple copies of the Swiss Ephemeris files by directing Solar Fire to use the copy in the other location.

 

In the "Preferences" dialog, "Ephemerides" tab...

>> To select an alternative location of the Swiss Ephemeris

•On the Ephemerides tab, click on the Browse button and choose the folder in which the Swiss Ephemeris resides.

Once you have chosen a new folder, Solar Fire attempts to connect to the ephemeris files at the new location. If you specified a folder that does not contain the correct Swiss Ephemeris files, then you will see an error message, and the location will revert to its original value.

After you have successfully specified an alternative location, you may delete the ephemeris files from Solar Fire’s old Swiss Ephemeris folder, in order to free up disk space, if you wish.

Note: Swiss Ephemeris asteroid ephemerides must always reside in subfolders of the folder designated as the main "Swiss Ephemeris folder" (as above). If you use this option to change locations, then you must ensure that any extra asteroid ephemerides you have are also present in the new location, or you will lose access to them.
