Hi,
  On Windows, the .vmdsensors file would be in c:\.vmdsensors or in
the VMD installation directory.
You can override the default location by setting a system-wide
"VMDSENSORS" environment variable with the fully qualified pathname
of the file.

So long as "Semmelweis" is the right VRPN server hostname and
"Omni1" is the correct VRPN tracker name, it would appear that your
configuration below should be right.

Cheers,
  John Stone

I installed VMD using the pre-compiled windows version and am now looking to create a configuration file for haptic device. Where would it be located (or is it omitted in the pre-compiled version) and if not where would I put the file?
