Inno Setup custom data directory location
In my last post , I forgot to point you to Inno Setup ; go get the Inno Setup QuickStart Pack to get going.

First, let's show an obvious choice: Source: {src}\data\*; DestDir: {userdocs} \MyCompany\data; Flags: [as above.... ] That new constant will put the data in a subdirectory of My Documents, for the user that installs the program. This might be fine for you, if each user of your program is going to install it themselves
