My Documents folder (Vista)

Thu Feb 21, 2008 2:54 pm

I want to get the msi package to add a folder to the "My Documents" folder as it installs. This works fine in XP but not in Vista because that folder is called just "Documents".
Does anyone know of a way to make this work?

Hi,

Please note that Advanced Installer offers support for the "My Documents" folder ("Documents" in Vista) through the "My Documents" folder in the "Files and Folders" page.

This folder will be resolved at runtime to the correct value which corresponds to the operating system ("My Documents" for XP or "Documents" for Vista).

Regards,
