To make my applications more portable across operating systems I've been using the OS's recommended directories to store config files and log files. Often this causes user confusion since they are used to navigating directly to the application's installation folder to find that stuff. I'd like to set up the installer so a link to the log file directory is placed in the application's Start menu folder.
In general the installer should be improved to make it easier to modify/adjust configuration files to contain the correct paths to things. This would make the application installs easier for the user and much more robust than they are currently.
