With the new Windows 7 restrictions (well, new to Windows Vista anyways), we can no longer install demo projects to %ProgramFilesFolder%OurApplicationdemo since restricted users will not be able to open and modify these projects.
Is there a "correct" place to install these files now?
The two alternatives that I am aware of would be:
Depending on whether you expect multiple accounts on a single machine to access these demo files, it may be better to modify the application to read from the public read-only location, and save a writable copy to the user s documents folder. There s little reason that this part should be done by the installer.
I d lean towards %PersonalFolder%OurApplicationdemo, since you re expecting users to open the files themselves. %AppDataFolder% is intended for (writable) data that s for the app s use (e.g., game maps, etc.)
