Question

I been using NSIS for simple installers. I am now at a point where i need to install files to a user's specific location. For example, in my case, the palette directory where i need to put the new palettes is C:\Users\Russ\Documents\My Palettes.

How can i determine, automatically, the current user (Russ) when the installer executes. (Or is this something i have to prompt the user for?)

I've looked at other NSIS constants, but couldn't find something particular for this.

Was it helpful?

Solution

My documents is listed in the constants list.

MessageBox mb_ok "$Documents\My Palettes"
