Hi there. $(env.xxx) is merely a pre-processing directive that means "substitute with the compiling machine's value of env. variable xxx". It's not evaluated at execution of the package, so you're in fact hard-coding a value (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users). This is not what you want, hence the warning.
Setting ALLUSERS and utilizing the StartMenuFolder property is probably the way you want to go. Check out the Windows Installer SDK documentation for details on both of those properties (and more). /rafael -----Original Message----- From: Vuchuru, Surekha (SBT US EXT) [mailto:surekha.vuchuru....@siemens.com] Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 2:02 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
