The new CumulusMX.exe should end up in same folder as existing Cumulus.ini_(Cumulus_1), there will be other files in this folder, and there will be some new folders you have not seen before like '''interface''' and '''MXDiags''', but MX continues to use the existing sub-folders without any change of name.
