ID SHGetSpecialFolderPath in cab files?

Hi,

My program expects some parameter files stored relative to
SHGetSpecialFolderPath.

Now this is Application Data and in my VS2005 generated cab file I can hard
code the directory as such.

But what if the device points to a different folder with
SHGetSpecialFolderPath() ?

How can I code the cab file to dynamically deploy the files relative to
SHGetSpecialFolderPath() ?

TIA

Check here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms934880.aspx. If you
can't find your favorite folder, maybe you can use a setup DLL to place the
file wherever you want. Here's info about setup DLLs:
