this is not exactly a C# question but...I am developing and installation for a desktop application. For a downloaded situation this will entail Winzip self extractor eactracting the setup files and then running setup.exe.

My question is where should I extracte the install files to? Is there a common location that everyone uses for this (i can't find a Windows special folder called 'downloads' or whatever.

It needs to be a folder where permissions won't get in the way.

Regards
Ray

You can use the default Temp folder, through environment special folders.
