I'm finding I really need to have my apps take greater control over
installation locations, upgrades, prefs etc. otherwise support time
goes way up for naive users... i.e. basic operations like the above
just needs to happen automatically...
for OSX, it is clear where to save supporting files...
/Applications/myRevApp/someApp.rev
/Library/Application Support/myRevApp/supportFiles..../
but I'm not familiar with Windows. In one app I am just saving some
Prefs for my app in the user's Documents/myRevAppPrefs/ folder...
using the special path.. some Windows users are not super happy about
this... as it is not normal Windows behavior.
Is it ok to simply make a new folder in the Windows System folder and
put your prefs and any lo-level support files there? These being
files the users never needs to see or edit.
