Battlefield 2 current fails to launch if the Documents folder has been moved from it's default location.

Since only the documents if moved and not the entire user home dir, the path construction [homeDir]\Documents does not work in these cases.

  • investigate whether different environment variable always points to currently configured documents folder
  • if not, investigate lookup via registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

No other environment variable available, but the windows package facilitates access to known folder ids, which always reference the current paths.
