constants: "public" folder

Bartjuh_09 · 13th July 2009, 20:55

I want to use the folder %PUBLIC% in an installer (in Vista C:\Users\Public\), but there is no constant variable for this.
The only solution I could think of is "SetShellVarContext all", and then use the folder $DOCUMENTS\..
This works for File and SetOutPath but not for RMDir.
Is there a more elegant way?
Shouldn't $PUBLIC become a constant variable?

You could use ReadEnvStr.
