Accessing the "My Pictures" folder

[davidekholm]

I'm new to AdvancedInstaller so please forgive me if this is documented somewhere (I couldn't find it). I'd like to pass along the path to the "My Pictures" folder as a Java system property using Advanced Installer (Java application). As different Windows language versions use different paths, and the fact that Vista uses a different path system than Windows XP, I cannot rely on a hard coded path to the "My Pictures" folder. I bet there is a registry entry that stores this path. Is there a way using AdvancedInstaller to pass along the value of a registry key to a Java system property?

Hi,

For the Java system property you can try using the [MyPicturesFolder] property. During install Windows Installer will resolve it automatically to the full path of the "My Pictures" folder.

Thanks. Works great. I've just bought a license.
