I thought that CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATAcompanyproduct
should be the place to put files that are common for all users of the application and that the application can modify, however, on Vista this is a read-only location, unless modified by the installer (as per MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995853.aspx), so... what's best? Modify the location's security settings to allow writing or use CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTScompanyproduct
instead? Maybe there's a third option?
Also, is there an "official" Microsoft recommendation on this somewhere?
