Hi, I am having an issue and am having trouble finding a solution. My software requires installation in %SystemDrive%\Program Files\App\ . However, Vista in other languages (ex. Spanish) prevents the creation of a "Program Files" directory. Instead, any creation of this directory (through installation or manually) instead renames and places the directory in "Archivos de Programas".

I need a way to force the installation to create a "Program Files" directory, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
-Bijan

You may want to improve your programmings skills, so that no hard-coded locations are required for the application to work. Here (http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/Beginning-Programming-All-In-One-Desk-Reference-For-Dummies.productCd-0470108541.html)

Sorry, I tried, but couldn't resist.
