I read the WIP to "Allow administrators and users to redefine the payload cache
locations" and wondered if an easier solution that would also work for Windows
XP would be to use Policy keys to override the default location of the package
cache. Policy is already well supported by administrator tools and we already
have polutil.cpp in dutil.lib to do the heavy lifting.
It would also avoid the elevation concerns. For example, can you register
per-user knownfolders without elevation? The MSDN documentation says you can't:
Note This method updates HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and therefore needs to be run in
the context of an administrator. Setup programs need administrator privileges
to register or unregister a known folder.
But it's been unclear before. <smile/>
Thoughts?
