Install files in all users %USERPROFILE%

Hi.

How do I copy files into all Userprofiles that exist on the computer instead of just the user that is installing the software?

Any help very much appreciated.

Please be gentle, I'm a noob.

Cheers,
Brisnick

A very good question, with an answer depending on your project type, though it usually involves invoking some kind of "repair" whenever a new user logs in to the system.

With an MSI project, for example, setting up an advertised shortcut or other entry point to a per-user component will trigger this (mentioned in passing in this blog post: http://blogs.flexerasoftware.com/installtalk/2011/02/you-again-understanding-windows-installer-msi-self-repair.html); or search these forums or the world for "ActiveSetup".
