copy a file to a specific user profile directory in the installati

[Guest]

Hello,
We have an vb.net windows application and in the setup and deployment
project we need to copy a config file to a specifc folder for each user.
However the file needs to be copied the the users Userprofile path, which is
definded by an environment variable, and is different for each user. How do I
get the deployment program to copy this file to the userprofile path in the
setup and deployment project.

Thanx in advance.

You can specify the special folder by adding it to the list from the context
menu on the left pane & then create a subdirectory from there

Hi Crouchie,
Yeah I know how to create a special folder, but the problem is
that this special folder is in a different place for each user. The place
where it resides is determined by an environment variable called userprofile.

Thanx in advance
