You might define global variables on host, profile and package level. However not different ones on different locales. In fact this is also not needed any more - at least for Windows Vista. For example the profiles are always stored at c:\Users. Programs might still use c:\documents and settings but this path actually does not exist any more and is linked to c:\users. So it seems that Microsoft already addressed this issue. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporting bugs, all WPKG mailing lists >> http://wpkg.org/Support _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
