[PATCH] kernel32: Set environment variable %PUBLIC% on the process start-up.
This patch fixes an installer that has "[%PUBLIC]\Documents" entry for some of the targets being copied from a cabinet file. Under Windows %PUBLIC% environment variable is set to C:\Users\Public.

Hi Dmitry, On windows, these are set to different values. ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData PUBLIC=C:\Users\Public Why have you made them the same? Regards Alistair. On 31/07/18 20:57, Dmitry Timoshkov wrote:

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
PUBLIC=C:\Users\Public

Yes, I'm aware of that difference. However since Wine already has the code path to set ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Users\Public I decided to reuse it path to set PUBLIC=C:\Users\Public. Changing ALLUSERSPROFILE to point to another place is not the subject of my patch. -- Dmitry.

Thanks. In other words, a bug with ALLUSERSPROFILE ;) Alistair.

It would be more correct to retrieve it from the "Public" registry key, then the paths can be updated independently of each other. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Thanks for the suggestion, that's actually matches what Windows have in the registry. I sent another patch that uses this approach. However, setting "Public" in the ProfileList registry key seems problematic. Currently ProfileList is populated with keys by shell32 for known folder ids, but unfortunately there is no an official folder id for C:\Users\Public. How would you suggest that should be handled? -- Dmitry.

There's no CSIDL constant, but there's FOLDERID_Public, which is more or less supported already. It shouldn't be hard to add the missing pieces. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
