Source code update

If you also store the source code of the PLC project on the runtime system in addition to the boot data, then you can also copy the archive folder from the folder ..\<Solution name>\<Project name>\_Boot\<Platform>\ CurrentConfig\ to the folder C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Boot\CurrentConfig\ on the runtime system during an update at file level.
