Application Data

trickle10 · ‎Dec 17, 2002

Hi all--
I have repackaged an application that adds a file to the user's AppDataFolder that contains some configuration info for the program. How can I make this available to every user that logs into a pc? I have set ALLUSERS=1 (I don't think ALLUSERS covers the AppDataFolder) and have tried a number of things to get it to work. Any ideas??

Thanks

Cole

Try modifying the KeyPath of the Component containing your configuration file to point to CommonAppDataFolder instead AppDataFolder. Rebuild and install the .msi. See if that works.

The program that I am repackaging looks at the AppDataFolder of the person who is logged in..It will not look at the CommonAppDataFolder...Any other ideas?
