Application Data Folder

[NewsArchive]

In preparing a new package for release and reading the various threads here
I believe I should be
placing my application data in a directory under as follows: (my company is
Enercalc)

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Enercalc

I do want all users of a computer to be able to access the data.

I do know how to get this path in Clarion code using Winevent:
ds_GetFolderPath(WE::CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA)

However I would like to know how to what Run Time Variable to use
to create this directory.

Can anyone confirm my selection for application data and advise on the run
time variable?

Thank you,

Michael

Michael,

You can use %_CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA% in SetupBuilder 6.5.

For example:

Create Folder "%_CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA%\Enercalc"

BTW, you can always use <Crtl>+<Right-Mouse-Button> to get the Variable List
dialog and select an existing variable.

Does this help?

Thank you.

In the Installation Details | Files & Folders visualizer how to I add this
directory path in the lower-left directory tree area so I can specify files
to be installed there?

Hi Mike,

Highlight the folder in the lower left panel where you want the sub folder
created and click the "Add" button beneath the panel.

Hi Lee,

The folder is obtained at runtime (see prior discussion this thread) so I do
not know the name.

I know I'm missing something.
