APPDATA multiuser
I've been looking around using SetShellVarContext all, so I can install some data for all the users inside their appicaiton data directory, however SetShellVarContext all won't for doing this. Any ideas on how could I do this?

Thanks.

Its best if your application does this, but if you must http://nsis.sourceforge.net/EnumUsersReg will help you somewhat (get the path from the registy (a method not supported by Microsoft))

Thanks for your quick response. I tried this solution you sent, however it only list the user which I'm running the installer from, it doesn't see any other users. Is there other registry entry I could look for other than the download folder from IE? Also do you know how well this work on vista?

Thanks.

You can find some user names here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Just be clear this is the script I'm using

!include "EnumUsersReg.nsh"
Name EnumUsersReg
OutFile EnumUsersReg.exe

ShowInstDetails show

Section
${EnumUsersReg} CallbackFunction temp.key
SectionEnd

Function CallbackFunction

Pop $0

ReadRegStr $0 HKU "$0\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" "Download Directory"
DetailPrint $0

FunctionEnd


and when I run this, it only returns one user(the one that I execute this program with). Any ideas??

Move the DetailPrint $0 above the ReadRegStr. Will give you better results.
