I want to install the program on my users' PCs in a \IRD98 directory, and then have them put their data in \IRD98\DATA directory. My documentation makes it sound like I can create that structure on my PC when using the Setup Wizard and it will duplicate that structure on my users when they run setup.

I just have my application do a check for a data dir (this way if the user install into another dir, the default path of the exe still works.)

I put the following in a check data routine in every app.

IF NOT DIRECTORY("DATA")
mkdir("data") &&create data dir
ENDIF
