how to get path to winamp.ini ?
Hi,

How to get path to Winamp.ini ? It no longer exists at $INSTDIR\Winamp.ini. It worked for previous versions but now it seems that path is in C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\winamp.ini...

Please help me to make universal function to get path to winamp.ini in XP, Vista, 2000. Before that I used $INSTDIR\Winamp.ini but now it doesn't work :(

Please help me to write function code in *.nsi file

$SMPROGRAMS. The documentation contains a list of all of them.

From the NSIS Users Manual:

$SMPROGRAMS

The start menu programs folder (use this whenever you want $STARTMENU\Programs). The context of this constant (All Users or Current user) depends on the SetShellVarContext setting. The default is the current user.

$APPDATA\Winamp\winamp.ini isn't a guaranteed location. it's safer to parse paths.ini in the winamp directory to find the directory/inifile (usually {26}\Winamp which is expanded out to the full path). this thread documents the {..} thing in the ini file and some more info as well about the file. if paths.ini isn't present you can assume $INSTDIR\Winamp.ini
