commonfilesfolder in installshield 2011 different than in 2010
I have the following urgent problem
When i added in installshield 2010 a file with „a REG File to merge at Build“ with the following syntax in the .reg file [CommonFilesFolder]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D5ADC5BA-4C95-491C-B772-74A327027DC7}\InprocServer32]
@="[CommonFilesFolder]inovaShared\\costUser.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"
Then i had after the install on a desktop the instead [CommonFilesFolder] the syntax C:\Program Files\Common Files written in the registry, which was good (depens of pc, i had also C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files)
NOW The Problem:
We changed our setup to INSTALLSHIELD 2011 and there the syntax is not more changing during installation. In the Registry ist he same name [CommonFilesFolder]. But then the Program dont find this folder.
Do you have any workaround or solution for this?

Wow...this soundslike it affects many people. How do we find out about hotfixes that might affect us before we spend hours banding our foreheads against our keyboards?
