Installing Xpress Insight 5 on Windows

FICO Xpress Insight 5 is installed into two locations by default.
  • The executable software is installed in C:\Program Files\FICO\Xpress Insight.
  • The supporting data files and settings for the program are installed in C:\ProgramData\FICO\Xpress Insight - The windows operating system hides this folder by default.
Also, these folders may be controlled by your IT department that may specify a different folder for program data.
Note Files are saved to the local working directory when using compute (savefile). The savefile in the compute setup is approximately the same size as the amount of memory used by the XPRSprob at the point of starting the compute server solve.
