Sorry, I don't quite understand about creating a folder.
Are you referring to unzipping the program after download? As far as I have experienced they both do the same, the original installs in a /Cumulus folder and the other in a /CumulusMX folder.
Just like the original Cumulus 1 which you keep running and console displays or is in the background, you keep CumulusMX running in the background (DOS screen) and if you want to see the dashboard you open the IP address in a browser which you can minimize or close whenever you want. In both cases the exe program stays running as long as you want, days, weeks, etc. until you want to stop it for whatever reason. In both cases you can view or minimize as often or whenever you want. I tend to close the CumulusMX browser every night.
Both original Cumulus 1 console and CumulusMX dashboard update automatically with live data as it is received from the station and data logger..
Enjoy,
Paul
