Hi all,
Quick question... In cases where our users are using Citrix, they often don't have a "C" drive. We don't want our product under Program files, so I'm wondering what variable I can use in lieu of PROGRAMFILES. It looks as if BOOTUPDRIVE may return the default drive of the system. Is this the case, and if so can I use it instead of hard-coding "C:\\"? Thanks!

Hi Christina,
BOOTUPDRIVE just returns the drive letter where the windows system booted from. If someone has the boot partition placed on, let's say, drive F: then BOOTUPDRIVE names this drive (precisely, it will return 6 as a number since F is the sixth letter [starting with A as the first one] - see help system). Convert it to a character, add your desired target location and assign it to TARGETDIR.
I'm not quite sure if this will answer your question?
