The problem is that it's not in the list.
Users\public is new "common" directory introduced in Vista, it's there
on every install.. if my user name was joe I would also have users\joe
was well.
The pubic folder contains music / docs / etc that all users inherit .
Since it's not a "named" folder is there another way to expand the
variable?

Jeff:
If it's in the following list, you can use it relatively easily.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa372057.aspx
The directory structure would look something like what is below (just
the beginning, you should be able to fill in the rest.
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <<<<-----------
this is the important part, change the id to match what you find in the
msdn link above.

I need to install some sample content into the %public%\pictures folder
on the target machine but I am unsure how to do this.
How do I specify a environment variable path for a directory element?
Thanks,
Jeff
