Hello, 

 

Many thanks for your answer.

 

My goal is to have an unique startlayout.XML for all computers.

 

I saw in the link that you provided ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/winforms/controls/known-folder-guids-for-file-dialog-custom-places that 3 GUID Exists :

 

ProgramFiles
905E63B6-C1BF-494E-B29C-65B732D3D21A

 

ProgramFilesX64
6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E

 

ProgramFilesX86
7C5A40EF-A0FB-4BFC-874A-C0F2E0B9FA8E

 

So, will the first one work for 32 and 64 bits ?

 

For the moment, we have two startlayout.xml. One refering to the guid 6D809377-6AF0-444B-8957-A3773F02200E and the other 7C5A40EF-A0FB-4BFC-874A-C0F2E0B9FA8E. And we have to use a GPP to detect the installed office version and apply the right layout.
