ScriptUI get the path to the indesign installation directory

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a path of the users to their installation directory?

I have the script, which creates a new menu in Indesign startup item.  the menu item is clicked, it opens another script.

Right now, I have the path to the second script hardcoded, which works very well:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts\Scripts Panel\DM_Core\DM_RemoveMenu.vbs

but now I have to give it to other users, and I need to know if there is a way to get the installation path they have to their indesign.

In the end, what I get is:

C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts

I tried scriptsFolder but that takes me to the right place.

Anyone has any ideas.

Thank you

This should help you to what you want:

function GetScriptsFolder (){
          var scriptsFolder = null;
          do{
          // On Mac this is a folder inside the app package
                    var appFolder = Folder.startup;
                    if (! appFolder.exists){break;}
                    scriptsFolder = Folder(appFolder + "/Scripts");
                    while (appFolder.exists && ! scriptsFolder.exists){
                              appFolder = appFolder.parent;
                              scriptsFolder = Folder(appFolder + "/Scripts");
                    }
                    if (! scriptsFolder.exists){
                              scriptsFolder = null;
                              break;
                    }
          }
          while (false);
          return scriptsFolder;
}

  • How tio changes the programs installation directory, I want to install?

    How tio changes the programs installation directory, I want to install? I'm trying to install a lot of programs is always installed in "Local disk C" that low memory space. Please tell me how can I install the programs in other folders such as "Local disk D and E and F. And also please tell me that the directory in which the widows is installed when reached about his memory limit, does windows performance issues.

    Win needs 15% free space for proper operation.

    Using various hacks registry posted on various sites to redirect the default program installation folder to another drive is not supported by MS and can cause problems.

    Most of the programs when you install them have the option for a custom install, where you can specify where / which drive to install, but not all programs have this option. Even if you install a separate drive various files/folders will be written on victory drive.

    If the drives D, E & F are separate partitions of a disk, you will need to modify/extend partition in win

  • How can I change the lightroom installation directory

    The default installation directory has changed and has been a success for my installation of Photoshop CC 2014, but the repertoire of Lightroom remains as default directory.

    How can this be changed?

    After speaking with a service representative customer, it is confirmed that this is normal and there is no intention to change this.

    It is a big barrier for those who have tiny disks.  There are many people who have tiny disks that store only the operating system.  There is no room for additional programs.

  • ScriptUI: get the dimensions of the container using the automatic formatting?

    No there is no way to get the dimensions of a ScriptUI container that uses the automatic formatting?  What container root (Panel or window)?  I'm writing a presentation for a group and I would like to react to the dimensions of the window or Panel, as it is resized, but it seems that this info is still not defined when the automatic formatting is used for containers of the ancestor.  No there is no way to know what size of the containers of the ancestor is without write handlers of layout custom for each of them?

    I think that it is either

    .size

    or

    .bounds

    which returns the values.

  • Cannot change the default installation directory (missing ProgramFilesDir)

    I'm changing the default installation on my computer directory.  I looked at the number of threads here that cover the topic.  I go to regedit and follow this path: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion' but I can't find the value 'ProgramFilesDir.' "  It's on Windows 7, 64-bit.

    Your much more course using the option 'tailor-made' for each program you want to install. Most of the applications have this option. Change the system variable or the registry entry can cause other issues, you may not like.
