1. Well, Microsoft has given up on 9x... <smile/> 2. ALLUSERS behaves very strangely on 9x. From the documentation:
"Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me: The installation is per-user or per-machine depending upon the operating system configuration. If Profiles are on and the Start menu is per-user, the Installer does a per-user installation. If Profiles are on and Start menu is shared, the Installer does a per-machine installation. If Profiles are not on and Start menu is shared, then the Installer does a per-user installation." 3. What does %CommonAppData% and %LocalAppData% resolve to? I don't seem to have those environment variables on my XP box. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Robertson Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 1:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Windows 98 and ALLUSERS I have a registry key that I want to install with different values depending on whether the installation is per machine or per user. This works fine on Windows XP but on Windows 98 the key goes through the per user route even when doing a per machine install. Is there some kind of gotcha for Windows 98 or am I just doing things the wrong way?
