October 17th, 2011 Comments off

Note, this article has been moved to the official DevExpress Support Center site. Please refer to the moved article as it might have further updates or additional comments. Thank you.

%Documents%\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community

September 13th, 2010 Comments off

You may notice that in your “Program Files\DevExpress…” folder, there’s an .exe file for each version of IDE tools you’ve installed, e.g.
