Failed to set data for ApplicationFolder

Hi,

When my delphi application is started on a Windows XP machine one customer gets following errormessage:
Error: Failed to set data for ApplicationFolder

I check the registrysettings for AppData
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folder\AppData
and..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folder\AppData
Both values seem to point to the correct folder.

What could be a solution for this problem?

"Error: Failed to set data for ApplicationFolder"
The Application folder is the folder where the application is installed which is not the same as
AppData

The correct way to determine the Shell folders is not going through the Registry. Please clarify ?

I have not much more to go on.
I need to determine what the error is saying in order to correct it.

Yes, it is the same user who installed the application, I don't know if it is a administrator user.
The user is a administrator and installed the software on it's own useraccount
Any new suggestions?
Thank you all.
