Files in %USERPROFILE%
Does anybody know how to add files to Application Data under specific user profiles folders with Wise Package Studio?
I want to have two folders in user profile folder for all users, even users which logs to the machine for the first time. How can I do that with WPS?
Putting these files in the All Users folder doesn't resolve the problem. So I have to copy these files into EVERY user profile folder.

Do you mean add files from the install to the app data folder for the user installing the app?
Yes, this can be done.
On the Installation Expert screen in Wise Installer Editor, go to the "Files" section, select the appropriate feature, and then navigate to the Windows\Profiles\Application Data folder and populate it.
It is best to place these files into their own component with a keypath to one of the files so that if a different user logs in, the app can self heal and only install the per user files.

Just moved the files to 'Profiles\My special folder' in WPS and made shortcut to executable file advertised. That's it ;-)
