I would try to avoid installing to the {commonappdata}. Shortcuts should
not be running applications in that folder directly. If you had a loader
application that could download and install updates, put that in the
{programfiles}\myapp and the rest into the {commonappdata}\myapp. The
shortcut would launch the loader app, which in turns runs the
{commonappdata} application (whether that be an APP or EXE).
As a note, if you need user specific data, you can use the {userappdata}
in Inno, and GetEnv("AppData") in VFP. The {commonappdata} (since XP at
least) maps to GetEnv("AllUsersProfile").
We only have two files being placed in the {commonappdata} folder. The
EXE and the CHM file to bring them local. The data resides on the
network location.
