I have a file in c:\program data that I wish to install.

In Files & Folders I don't see that directory listed under the Development computer - therefore I have copied it to "My Install" directory.

In Destination Computer I'm not sure how to add "Program Data" - I would expect a blue folder icon - if I add it myself I get a yellow icon - I don't think it will always install it in the correct location.

On another computer the destination is CommonAppDataFolder

How do I add this file?

Thanks

David,

Select the "Always Install" item and right click. Then select "Add CSIDL" and choose the required "known" folder ID. Then add your folders and files.

BTW, did you already download the excellent "Learning SetupBuilder Part I". The official "Everything you ever wanted to know about SetupBuilder but were afraid to ask" introductory material, written by Jane Fleming. This "SetupBuilder Bible" is a compendium of tips, tricks, warnings, and resources for SetupBuilder users of every ability level.

Thanks, that's helped.
I hadn't noticed the "Learning SetupBuilder Part I", I have now downloaded it.
