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\C urrentVers ion\Explor er\User Shell Folder\AppData
and..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software \Microsoft \windows\C urrentVers ion\Explor er\Shell Folder\AppData
Both values seem to point to the correct folder.
What could be a solution for this problem?

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.
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 ?
