Where Does MicroSIP Store Accounts and Contacts?
MicroSIP files SIP accounts in MicroSIP.ini plus contacts XML, in AppData for installs or beside the exe portably.
Last updated
MicroSIP splits a tiny footprint two ways. Installed builds keep MicroSIP.ini and Contacts.xml in Roaming AppData with logs in Local. Portable runs keep the same files beside the executable, no installer needed.
The mode detection lives in source: matching the registered install path means installed behavior, anything else means portable. Account credentials sit in the INI in plain form, so guard copies accordingly. Backups mean two small files.
Where MicroSIP stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\MicroSIP\MicroSIP.ini
MicroSIP.ini plus Contacts.xml live here for installer builds. Portable builds keep the same files beside the exe instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate accounts?
Copy MicroSIP.ini and Contacts.xml with the app closed. Installed builds read AppData, portable builds their own folder. Match the build type or the copy sits unread.
How does portable mode trigger?
Run from any folder outside an install path and it keeps files locally. Installer runs use AppData automatically. The source code decides by comparing exe path against the registered install location.
