path to Zdesktop installation & data hard-coded to english folder names

[Pascal]

Hi,

In an WinXP-style user profile, the path to my Zimbra Desktop installation is somehow hard-coded. It lies in \profiles\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Zimbra, with the Local Settings being hard-coded to the english folder name (should be 'Lokale Einstellungen' in my German version of WS2003 and XP).
I'm sure there's a variable name to get to this folder; because with the hard-coded name, all the Zimbra stuff gets copied to my roaming profile instead of staying local - and it sucks when 1gb of additional data gets written over the net on shutdown and loaded on start.
I think the installer is to blame here, but I can't check right now.

You are right that installer should have done a better job in choosing default installation path for non-English locales. I've opened a bug for this: Bug 38321 – installer hard-coded default path on windows

The workaround is that don't use the default suggested installation path; pick one that you think it's better during installation.
