>I have a need to set the editwork, progwork, sortwork, and tmpfiles to the local machines Windows directory (ie GetEnv('WINDIR')). I want to do this so I will not have to force the user to set up a local directory on their computer (ie C: drive). I had hoped to do this in main.prg, but that seems to think that editwork, as a example, is just a variable and tosses the variable away when the function is complete. I tried to do this in the config.fpw file (ie EDITWORK = GetEnv('WINDIR')), but it did not understand that and ignored it. It seems that SET is not an option here either.

We build our own config.fpw when the user runs our setup program. The program scans the machine, creates directories as needed, updates the registry and builds a config.fpw that is taylored to their machine and environment. Hope this helps.
