Hi.
You can get that folder using
for "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" folder (CommonAppDataFolder is Installer property) or,
if you need to copy during deferred phase you can get App data folder from environment:
To copy a file you can use

You can get that folder using
destDir = Property("CommonAppDataFolder") for "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data" folder (CommonAppDataFolder is Installer property) or,
if you need to copy during deferred phase you can get App data folder from environment:
Set WSHShellObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set EnvObject = WSHShellObj.Environment("PROCESS")
destDir = EnvObject.Item("ALLUSERSPROFILE") & "\Application Data"
Set EnvObject = Nothing
Set WSHShellObj = NothingTo copy a file you can use
Set FSObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set srcFileObj = FSObj.GetFile("yoursrcfile.dat")
srcFolderFileObj.Copy destFile, False
If (FSObj.FileExists(destFile)) Then
' Wscript.Echo "Copying done."
Else
' Wscript.Echo "Copying failed. Error " & GetErrMsg
End IfBest regards

Just a word of caution - this may not work if you use Deferred In System Context as most of the more common environment variables will generally not be defined in that particular context.

Spartacus,
thanks for information.
Now I understand why one of my script fails ;-)
Is this because of System account settings or because script is running in deferred in system context sequence?

Most likely due to the deferred in system context you have selected. Have you tried out the script just deferred but not in system context ?
