    Vista: How can setup program get CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA

    Anyone know what a setup program (QSetup in this case) must do in order to create/access folders under CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA when a user launches the setup program from a Standard User account in Vista?

    To clarify: When the setup program is run from a Standard User account, a call to SHGetFolderPath(CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA) returns the administrator's local appdata folder instead of the Standard User local appdata folder. Does the setup program need to run "asInvoker" in order to access CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA?
