Configuration

Overview

Construct is powered by its configuration file: construct.cfg, which uses Tom’s Obvious, Minimal Language (TOML) as an easy to read config file format. The configuration file is used to configure all major parts of the emulated Windows system, including:

• Files and folders which comprise the filesystem,
• Registry keys and values,
• File associations,
• Process and system environment variables,
• Output when certain commands are executed,
• Network responses and handlers,
• Changing properties about the current user,
• Setting alternate configuration files and debugging information.

This document aims to describe the different parts of the Construct configuration file.

Finally, for those not familiar with TOML, it’s worth spending a few minutes reading the documentation to ensure you understand TOML’s easy-to-read syntax.
