It’s not necessary to call that API –
Windows Installer already does it for you behind the scenes. Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""> Derek From:

all, I'm
sure this question has been asked many times… but I can't find it in the
archives so I guess I'm searching for the wrong thing. The
application we are installing references a database (MDB) file. It
is required that the user has the option to install a preconfigured sample
database. Because
the database is both read, and written, and is shared across all users on the
machine, it seems appropriate that the file be installed to a sensible
location. According to the "Designed for Windows XP" spec, the
location in question should be determined using a request to SHGetFolderPath
specifying CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, then appending the correct company and product
folders. How do I make the call to SHGetFolderPath in WiX? (Presumably it's a
custom action somewhere, but an example would be appreciated!) On
a related note, is there any way to ensure that the folder in question is
writeable by all users, or is that automatically the case (unless overridden by
an administrator). Regards,
