The database components are common to all applications so they are defined in the library project. We have tried many different combinations of installation settings to achieve this but the best we ever get is the blank directories are created but WinDev puts the .fic files either in ProgramFiles(X86) (if we include a manifest) or in the virtual store (if no manifest is used) This is true even if I specify the folders by running the advanced installation. It creates the folder but does not put the .fic files in it. I have also tried using HChangeDir to set the location of the files explicitly but this only causes a User Account Control popup to appear on start up (not the best customer experience) and the .fic files still remain in ProgramFiles (x86) I suspect that the use of the library might be part of the issue as we have other applications which seem to install with the correct folder structure. However this software project has a large common code base and the use of the library was an early design decision that we are heavily committed to.
