How can I append the subfolders if I can't write to 
CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA? I was planning to do my own installer, who should 
create the "Company Name\Product Name\Version" folder tree, but now I'm 
in doubt if it can be done. Should the installer be executed by the 
administrator, or there is another trick?
