[Scilab-users] 6.1.1 startup error

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi,

The version of Scilab which generated the configuration.xml should be 
contained in some attribute of the top level element, i.e.

     <Profile name="scilab" version="6.1.1">

This would allow to trigger a proper upgrade of the file when the Scilab 
version differs or a regeneration if the file cannot be upgraded.

S.
