On OS X and XP, simply writing the reg data into the application
folder works great, provided of course the person doing the
registration has admin privileges, which for these scenarios is
common. So far so good.
But on Vista, the same program using the same code thinks its
writing to the program directory during registration, but it turns
out that it isn't, and subsequent users report that the program
isn't registered.
I understand the basic concept of Vista's virtualization, but
here's what I don't understand:
Where do I write my reg file so all users can access it?
Can you use specialfolderpath(35) which is the shared common app
data folder?
I have been using specialfolderpath(26) for both XP and Vista. This
has been working out well.
