This works fine for 99%+ of users. But if a user doesn't have a 'My documents' folder I get a number of ugly error messages of the form: Internal error:Failed to expand shell folder constant failed to expand “userdocs” This is not very confidence inspiring for the user! It is acceptable to not install the samples for these users (or install them somewhere else). But not to show the ugly error messages. The problem seems to come from the ExpandConstant macro expansion of {userdocs}. Is there some way I can get the path of 'My documents' without using a macro? Or some way to suppress the error message? ExpandConstant throws an exception: http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=isxfunc_expandconstant The relevant parts of my .iss file looks like this: #define MySampleDir "{code:SampleDirRoot}\PerfectTablePlan" ...
