Specifying a custom installation folder

There are a couple of files that may be editable after installation
and that I want to place in the Documents and Settings\All
Users\Applicati on Data folder during installation. (Obviously so that
the files are available to all users, not just the current user.)

How can I do this? The All Users folder tree doesn't seem to be on the
Special Folder list in a VB2005 Setup project.

I have created a web setup project for my ASP.NET application that works fine. Also, I have followed the instructions for using a custom action to launch a web page after the installation is complete. This works great too, for web pages not associated with my new application.

After that this secondary location selected/created by the user,

I created a desktop application in VB.NET and in the Setup and Deployment project, under File System on Target Machine, I added a custom folder which is to be added to the Desktop of All Users. To specify this, I entered DefaultLocation = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop AlwaysCreate = True For some reason, though, it is not getting created. During installation, we select Everyone, and so the Desktop shortcut goes to the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
