Somehow I lost one of my projects. I have no idea where it went! I have the project deployed to IIS, but when I went to make a change, I could not find the folder or package I had created. Is there any way to modify a copy of the deployed project to allow me to edit it?

Backup folder?
Did you see if it's listed in the "Backup" folder? By default the Backup folder is located at: \Program Files\Altiris\Workflow Designer\WorkflowProjects\Backup
There should be sub-folders in the \Backup folder of all your projects as long as they made backups at least once and of course the "Do Backups" option is checked in your Edit Tool Preferences, which I believe is checked by default.
No Backup
Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately the project was built on a server that no longer exists. We were running a two-server setup, with one machine publishing to the other. The hosting server did not have the designer installed. This was causing several problems, so I packaged all of my projects and moved everything to a single server. I didn't discover the missing package until after the original Designer server was removed. Luckily all of the files were copied during the publishing process.
Nevermind
I deleted the 'project.Deployed' file from the folder and it opened just fine.
If you have it deployed, you
If you have it deployed, you should be able to get the project folder in Program Files > Altiris > Workflow Designer > WorkflowDeploy > Release. You could just go in IIS and right click the project and click Explore to navigate to the project folder.
That's true, but when I tried
That's true, but when I tried to open it I got a "Not able to open deployed projects" error message.
Would you like to reply?
