I'm trying to install some project item templates for Visual Studio and need some other custom actions, so am building the installer with WIX. I want the templates installed for all users, not just the current user. VS looks for the templates in a known directory structure under the Documents folder, either current user or all users.
Through some other threads and posts, I found that creating a directory element like so should get me to that all users documents folder: <Directory Id="WIX_DIR_COMMON_DOCUMENTS"> However, the components I am putting under this don't seem to be getting created. I'm working on Windows 7, and have checked both the C:\Users\Default\Documents and C:\User\Public\Public Documents and nothing is showing up there with the above parent element. If I change the Id to PersonalFolder, it does work correctly for creating the components under the current user folder. Anyone have a sample snippet using this property or other tricks associated with doing so they can help me out with?
