Which folder - good practice?
Hi there I have created a set of addins which, via an install procedure, get saved in C:\Program Files\MyCompanyName. Registry entries are set accordingly. I create a custom INI file during the startup of my add-in using Open, Get, Put, etc. and use to store path information and othe user variables. The INI file location is taken from the ThisWorkbook.Path value. This works fine on most Office/Windows versions except XP, when the INI file Put fails because the user (I guess) does not have write permission to C:\Program Files. I do not want to put the INI file into the My Documents folder as I believe it would be too vulnerable to inquisitive users. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what they have found to be good practice for add-ins that are likely to be deployed across several operating systems that would get around the problem outlined above? Many thanks, in advance, for any advice. Neil |
