Vista UserProfile Folder
Sorry for the nOOb question.
In InstallSheild 2009, I know there is a predefined folder [USERPROFILE] if package is created using InstallShield.
But if I am going to create a transfom file on a vendor msi package which does not have this predefined folder, how do I go about let say putting a file in
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\
Any easy way to do this?

With MSI 4.x, perhaps see if LocalAppDataFolder will do?

Thanks Rob,
LocalAppDataFolder = The full path to the folder that contains local (nonroaming) applications
I believe that should be good enough for c:\users\\Appdata\Local\
What about c:\users\\Appdata\Local Low folder in Vista?
