.erlang file in windows

Question

I read Joe Armstrong's Erlang book: Erlang Programming: Software for a Parallel World.

In several places, he talks about the .erlang file that lives where the erlang library lives, and it should let you change your environment.

I tried this several times, but nothing similar happens.

Is the .erlang file name different in windows? Has this changed? Or am I just putting it in the wrong place?

I put the file here: C: \ Program Files \ erl5.7.2 \ bin

Answer 1

According to this SO answer, it should be in YourErlangInstallationPath\usr\or C:\Program Files\erl5.7.2\usr\for you.
