Predefined variable for User App data?

Post by QooScho »

Hello,
is there a pre defined variable for

c:\users\[Name]\AppData\Local ?
or
c:\users\[Name]\AppData\Roaming?

I need to install some files to this directory

regards

Dear Hansjoerg,

You can use the Get Folder Location for the directory System->Application Data.
If you uncheck the Get for All Users box, you will get the current user's application data, which on Windows Vista / 7 is usually c:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming.

Can you describe how to do this?
Where do I find System-->ApplicationData in InstallAware and where is the Get for all users checkbox?

I am using InstallAware X9
