MSI and current user profile
Hello,
I am trying to create an msi from a capture. The script just removes a few files. I then need it to copy a .lnk file to %USERNAME% (currently logged in user) /application date/microsoft/internet explorer/quicklaunch.
So how to i modify the msi to copy something to the current user profile?
Thanks

That won't work if the package is deployed via, say, GP or SCCM since the "current user" at deployment time will be the local System account, or if it gets installed by an account other than the actual user e.g. by an administrator.
The solution for any user profile stuff is to either use Active Setup or move a feature containing an advertised entry-point (e.g. an advertised shortcut) so that it becomes a child of a new feature, where the new feature contains the profile stuff.
