When JADE is installed under the \Program Files directory, it conforms to the expected Windows behavior.
The ability to return locations other than the JADE HOME directory for program and user data requests is dependent on where the JADE binaries have been installed.
If the JADE programs are not installed in the system-wide location for installed applications (in a folder in the Program Files directory), returning alternative addresses is not implemented. It is assumed that the programs installed in custom locations have sufficient security privileges to work in the style of earlier JADE 6.3 releases.
Although the alternative names and locations are driven by Windows requirements, the code is portable across Windows implementations.

Files that should be placed under the returned location are entities that should be shared across multiple users of these binaries; for example, the jommsg.log file or shared dictionary spelling files that are updated. | |

Files that should not be placed under the returned location are entities that should be shared across multiple users of these binaries; for example, if a presentation client installation occurs on a Windows machine running Citrix or Terminal Services and all users run the same thin client binaries, any data created on the client file system should be stored under this location (that is, dictionaries for each user). | |

Returned directory strings are normalized; that is, they have the virgule, or forward slash, (/) character as directory separators and they end in the virgule (/) character. Directories are created if they do not exist.
