Hello,
I'm trying to manually remove old installs at the beginning of my new install. One of the steps is to remove their shortcuts. I need FOLDER_DESKTOP variable to make this work. However whenever I use it in the "UserInterface" sequence this variable is blank...

Does anyone know which custom action sets the value of this variable??

Thanks,
Peter

good ol' registry to pick up where IS doesn't seem to work...

for "ALLUSER" desktop try:
Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
String Value: "Common Desktop"

for "CurrentUser" desktop try:
Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
String Value: "Desktop"
