appdata

I have made several scripts for inDesign. Now I want to distribute them all in a setup file. Since inDesign scripts reside in different locations on XP and Vista (or above), I'm having some problems. My compiled setup works fine under Windows XP but doesn't copy anything to Windows 7 AppData folder. When I change folder from AppData to an absolute path, it works. [Files] Source: "Akruti Converter.jsx"; DestDir: "{userappdata}\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 8.0\en_US\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Unicode Converters\Plain"; Check: IsWindowsVista_or_7 Source: "Akruti Converter.jsx"; DestDir: "C:\Unicode

I have a PDF file hosted on a website. I would like my VB.NET program to retrieve the file/download it and store it somewhere in %appdata% . This could be in a folder of it's own like %appdata%/my_program if you want. How do I achieve this in my VB.NET program? Thanks. Mehdi Valikhani You can use WebClient.DownloadFile(Url,LocalPath) for downloading your PDF file and saving in a local path on your PC. The class is in System.Net Assembly . Use this to download file: Dim WC As New System.Net.WebClient WC.DownloadFile(URL, FileName) or My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(URL, FileName) To save it in

I am building a modern ui app and want to, with a batch file, write and periodically update data accessible though the ms-appdata:// protocol in my winjs app. I have the batch file to copy folders, but I cannot find the file path of the appdata. What is the default filepath for App1 's appdata and how can I force my app to create the folder? ms-appdata:///[local | roaming | temp]/ maps to the StorageFolder returned from Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.localFolder, roamingFolder, and temporaryFolder.

With the environment variable %allusersprofile% I can get the directory where common settings are stored. But most programs store their settings in the sub-folder "anwendungsdaten" (German, application data). Is there a way to get the direct path to this folder? The problem is that its name is language dependent. Thanks. Not sure about what programming language you're using, so I'll assume the basic Windows api. In XP you can call SHGetFolderPath with CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA as a parameter. It looks like Vista and 7 have a new set of functions that do the same thing, you'd probably want to call

So, I'm creating a game and need to create directories to store all the user's data and saves and whatnot. As you can see, I need to create a folder in the Application Data folder of the user called, "[WarDungeon]", and there, I will store other folders for such data like levels, the bin, sprites, etc. I am not too interested in working with Mac OS and Linux as I want to get the %appdata% folder working with Windows to begin with. Here's my code: public FileManage() { gamePath = System.getenv("APPDATA") + "[WarDungeon]"; gameLevelPath = System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Local Settings\
