After a few days I found out how to place the icons of PaintShopPro7 in a different directory (C:\documents and Settings\%username%\Menu MSI\Local Applications\). I went for a Administrative Installation from a network drive upon which a made a TRANSFORM-file. In this MST-file I changed the placing of the icons to the path I mentioned earlier.
When I install PSP7 with my MST directly from the network, everything works O.K. The icons appaer on the right place.
BUT, when I do it with Microsoft's SMS, the icons will appaer in the SMS-account on my client pc's. How can I change this, it should be possible for a per-user installation to get the icons in the userdirectory as mentioned earlier.
Has anybody else have some experience with this?

Novem,

It's because it's per-user data.

What you need to do is group the files together under a component, and create a registry key under HKCU for the KeyPath of that component. When the user logs in after the SMS deployment the KeyPath is missing and the application will "repair" the the files to the correct location.

I'm trying to find a better way than this, but until then .....

Cheers

Adam
