Hiya,
What about writing a little test app for the user to install and run.
After installing, the test app sends the 'cd ..' and 'dir' commands
to the shell. Grab that output, should tell you the directory it's in.
Haven't tried this btw...
Cheers,
Luis.

In addition there is every likelyhood that VS will not be in
future editions of Windows and or may change in the service packs
for Vista. It's best to avoid virtual store like the plague.
It's unpredictable and can completely alter if your user turns UAC
on and off.

VirtualStore disappear someday? Microsnot undo something bad they
created? Surely not!
I didn't write to VirtualStore, I am just wondering if my unstaller
did indeed do its job, but that VirtualStore is storing a copy of
the files wreaking havoc, preventing the new version from properly
installing. That's why the uninstaller polls for that location as
well when deleting the files it created, in case Win itself did the
duplicating. Which would make you wonder if the permissions would
indeed be set to Once Created, There Forever.
On launch, the app checks to see if the prefs files exist. If not,
it creates them. According to him, even after running the
uninstaller, the app is acting like the old files still exist so it
is not creating new ones. This is problematic because I changed
some fundamental things in the app, and it needs to create the
newer files to run properly.
I've instructed the fellow to do a full search of his drive for the
folder my app creates for its pref files, and to look in
VirtualStore as well. I do not know if he will do this, or is even
capable of doing it.
Very frustrating!
