Shared Documents - Is there a Property for this?
Hi all,
I am currently packaging an msi that installs a folder to the
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents" area during the setup capture but when i try to install my msi that folder is created under the following......
"C:\Documents and Settings\%logged_on_user%\All Users\Shared Documents".
The directory table looks something like this
WindowsFolder ¦ TARGETDIR ¦ .:Windows
ProfilesFolder ¦ WindowsFolder ¦ .:Profiles
ALLUSERSPROFILE ¦ ProfilesFolder ¦ AllUsers¦AllUsers
Documents ¦ ALLUSERSPROFILE ¦ DOCUME~1¦Documents
My question is how do install files and folders to the Shared Documents area of the All Users Profile?
Thanks,
Rgds,
Mark

[ALLUSERSPROFILE]\documents should work for XP machines.. are you using ALLUSERS=1?

or just using the [Documents] dir as the destination as it is already defined in the directory table (ALLUSERS=1)

Hi Mark,
Did you find a way to install files and folders to the Shared Documents area of the All Users Profile?
I am curious to know about it because when I tried doing it, I wasnt able to get through it.
So Please share it.

I'm not sure what the trouble is. I just ran a quick test and [ALLUSERSPROFILE]\documents worked for me on an XP machine. Is Vista what's causing trouble?
