Per-user and per-machine installation in different folders

[Mioszek]

Hi,
I want to add an per-user and per-machine installation type to my Advanced Installer project. However default installation location is [AI_UserProgramFiles] which resolves to ProgramFiles in per-machine and LocalAppData in per-user installations. This does not work, because my application downloads libs with Maven and saves temporary files, so I need non-administrative users to be able to modify contents of the per-machine location folder.

I thought ProgramData might be a good place, so I changed ApplicationFolder to [CommonAppDataFolder], but now the application is installed in ProgramData folder in both types (per-user and per-machine), which I do not think is right. What folder should I use?

Thank you in advance for the help

Hello and welcome to our forums,

If you want to always install to ProgramData when the user selects "per-user", then most likely the best ideea is to schedule an event on the "Next" button from the "InstallTypeDlg" that sets APPDIR to "ProgramData"

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
