<Appdata> Behavior

Post by rkmassoc »

If a non-administrator runs my install script, then a pop-up dialog appears in which the administrator password must be entered. This allows the install to proceed. The problem is, the files that I want to go to the users <AppData> folder end up in the Administrators <AppData> folder. If the adminstrator gives the user temporary administrator status in order to do the install, then no popup appears and the files go to their intended destination.

<Appdata> Case when administrator password has to be entered:
c:\users\admin\appdata\roaming\rkmassoc\...

<Appdata> Case when user is given administrator privilege before installing. This is where I always want the files to go:
c:\users\myuser\appdata\roaming\rkmassoc\...

How can I insure that the <appdata> files go to "myuser" and not to "admin" folders? Is there no way to force <appdata> to point to the currently logged in users folders, rather than to the administrator?

Thanks,
Randy Martin
