Installing in "common files"
Hi

I use to install something in $PROGRAMFILES\common files\

This works fine when using english versions of the operating system
but now my installer has to run on a danish version of WIN2000

Here this directory is called
$PROGRAMFILES\fælles filer\

But as i don't have a symbol for the COMMON i don't know how to solve this problem generally

any suggestions

Thanks

Use this registry key:

HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, CommonFilesDir
