Hi

My setup project on VS.NET 2003 is set to install per machine (ALLUSERS=1).
I have some files that have to be shared, so I would like to deploy them to the Common Application Data folder.

The File System view in the setup project includes special folder User's Application Data Folder (per user), but not the Common Application Data Folder. There is the Common Files Folder but I rather use the Common Application Data Folder, cause the files are application-data for all users.

Is there any way to accomplish it (without using a custom action) ?

Thanks mandy,

I saw this property before but wasn't sure where and how to use it.
Now I figured out how to use it also.

Cheers!
