Why System32?

Open ZenoArrow opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

First of all, great project.

I noticed the readme mentioned some files are installed to System32 on Windows in order to be shared amongst users. My main question is why was this folder chosen? It's not best practice for installed applications to modify the contents of Windows sub directories. If the Program Files / Program Files (x86) directories weren't suitable, the best location would be the ProgramData folder, as this is what it's for (storing files that should be accessible by all users). Is there a different reason why System32 was chosen? Thanks in advance.
