Hello! smile.gif
my application must run in Win98 and WinXP
I need to install a file in "Start Menu\MyFolder" for ALL USERS but in the VisualStudio Installation project is available only the "User's Menu" for the current user.
Some ideas?
thank you

You need to set the property ALLUSERS to 1 or 2.

Yes you need to use Orca.
But in VS there's a dialog (customer information dialog?) where users can select per-user or per-machine installation. If you include this dialog you don't have to use Orca.

if I canghe the ALLUSERS property my application is installed for all users but I have some files in StartMenu that I want to install for all users not only for the current user.

In the VisualStudio project infact these files are located in SpecialFolder=User's StartMenu: when I start the installation the USER is the administrator so they
will be installed in
Document and Setting\Administrator\StartMenu but not in
Document and Setting\ALLUSERS\StartMenu

thankyou!
