Location of Folder "Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents"

[ttaut]

What is the FolderID for following location:

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\" ?

I want to install some files there instead of the current user's "My Documents" folder.

I found an article about WixQueryOsDirs properties with the folder id WIX_DIR_COMMON_DOCUMENTS but do not know how to access this.

Thanks,

Thomas

you can Shell.GetFolder(SHF_COMMON_DOCUMENTS); (which is 46)
Otherwise, you just reference the folder id if in wix...

How do I use Shell.GetFolder to transfer the results into the folder list which I want to use as destination for my files?
