SetupBuilder Class: LocalCSIDL

Previous  Top  Next  


This Long property contains the CSIDL value for the Local folder that files should be copied TO.  This could for example be IT_CSIDL_PERSONAL or IT_CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA depending on the nature of the files. 

 

If this is application data, that the user should not mess with, IT_CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA might be more appropriate.  Note that on Windows Vista, IT_CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA is hidden so it does not show up in the Explorer window. 

 

If this is data that the user may need to copy, backup, etc. then IT_CSIDL_PERSONAL would be more appropriate.  IT_CSIDL_PERSONAL generally refers to the "My Documents" folder.  Please check out our FREE SpecialFolder (http://www.icetips.com/downloadfile.php?FileID=71) program that is invaluable in determining the actual locations on the various operating systems.
