Category: General Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: Works For Me Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Amir Szekely (kichik) Summary: $DESKTOP doesn't point to the right folder always Initial Comment: $DESKTOP seems to point to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop always, but in real world this doesn't have to be the case. With old WIndows versions you can tweak this by modifying registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User Shell Folders), but in Vista you can use regular GUI to do it (open your user profiles folder, select the special folder to move, right click it and select the 'Location' tab and select it's new location). Tested with 2.29 and 2.40. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: SourceForge Robot (sf-robot) Date: 2008-12-07 02:20 Message: This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system.

I moved the documents folder and $DOCUMENTS still worked. NSIS uses Windows API to get access to the path, so as long as you use proper API or other interfaces to change your folder's path and not write directly to the registry it should work. Can you include more details on reproducing this issue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373085&aid=2210441&group_id=22049 |
