LUA saving computer wide setting
Hi,

Just learning about limited users and have run into a bit of a dead end. I have a setting in the HKLM that works great for my installer and app under admin rights to count its usage. I would like any user to read and update the count each time they use the app. With a LUA the setting can be read but not updated. I could store the setting in an ini file etc. but I need the count to be true to all users and still true on reinstalling. Are there any solutions?

thanks!

That is what the "...\All Users\Application Data\..." folder is for.

Tip: If you search this forum you might find useful info about using this folder.

Thanks Onad,

I thought a LUA would not be able to write to this area only to ..Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data..
but I will research this more.
