Capture settings from programs installed on root drive?

I am trying to capture files from programs installed directly on the C drive. i.e. (C:\InstalledApplication\file.ext)  It seems that UEM does not have any folder tokens that point to the root drive.  If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Hi Freeser,

UEM can only capture settings which are in the user profile of the user.

Thanks Raymond.

I have an application that validates its version against an exe in a network share drive.  If the versions do not match it then "updates" by copying the exe from the network share.  This application is update quite often and resides in C drive.  Any thoughts on how to keep this application updated for my users without constantly updating the appvolume?

There's an ingenious solution in the thread linked below that will allow you to "capture" folder / file settings outside of the user profile. We've used it a couple of times now and it's a very consistent method. The only downside to it is if the folder you are capturing is large, as it will effect logon times.
