How to access the CommonAppDataFolder?

Hi, everyone!

I am using InstallShield 2010 to build a Basic MSI Project. I have a file that I would like to install to the All Users Application Data folder in Windows. I want to use the CommonAppDataFolder property to specify the location of the new file; however, I am unsure of where or how to reference this property within the Basic MSI Project. Should I add it to to the Path Variables dialog? I see Predefined variables specified already such as 'CommonFilesFolder" and "WindowsFolder", but it appears that I cannot properly add it there. I also noticed that I can view "Predefined Folders" within "Files and Folders" under "Application Data". I can see the CommonAppDataFolder under "Predefined Folders". Perhaps, this is where I should add the file with this reference?

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

you can add the required files under "Files and Folder"->[CommonAppDataFolder] after selecting it.
