It is a bit unclear to me what you are asking for. Do you want the username or the path to their profile?

@Anders,
I need to get path to their profile.

???

PHP Code:


			
SetShellVarContext current

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$PROFILE"

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$APPDATA"

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$LOCALAPPDATA"

Thanks buddy!

Just remember that you are not really supposed to put things in $PROFILE. Use one of the appdata constants...

How about using the UserMgr plugin.

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UserMgr_plug-in

I pasted an excerpt from that page. Wouldn't the HOMEDIR return what you want?

UserMgr::GetUserInfo "USERID" "FIELD"
returns a specific information for the given user-ID
where "FIELD" can be one of the following:
EXISTS
returns "OK", if the user exists on the system, otherwise an error is returned (string "ERROR xxxx")
NAME
returns the user name
FULLNAME
returns the full user name (e.g. firstname surname)
HOMEDIR
returns the path to the users home directory
COMMENT
returns a comment stored for the user
PASSWD_STATUS
returns the Password status for the user (either NEVEREXPIRES or CANTCHANGE)
