z.B. im "Windows 7 Client Software Logo Program":
Zitat:
Install to the correct folders by default
Users should have a consistent and secure experience with the default installation location of files, while maintaining the option to install an application to the location they choose. It is also necessary to store application data in the correct location to allow several people to use the same computer without corrupting or Windows provides specific locations in the file system to store programs and software components, shared application data, and application data specific to a user:
- Applications should be installed to the Program Files16 folder by default. User data or application data must never be stored in this location because of the security permissions configured for this folder
- All application data that must be shared among users on the computer should be stored within ProgramData
- All application data exclusive to a specific user and not to be shared with other users of the computer must be stored in Users\<username>\AppData
- Never write directly to the "Windows" directory and or subdirectories. Use the correct methods for installing files, such as fonts or drivers
- In “per-machine” installations, user data must be written at first run and not during the installation. This is because there is no correct user location to store data at time of installation. Attempts by an application to modify default association behaviors at a machine level after installation will be unsuccessful. Instead, defaults must be claimed on a per-user level, which prevents multiple users from overwriting each other's defaults.
Es gibt aber noch zig andere Quellen im Netz... Einfach mal googlen!
