Getting Application Folder

[flyguy]

How do I get the folder that corresponds to:
"c:\\documents and settings\\all users\\application data\\" in XP or
"c:\\ProgramData\\" in Vista?

I noticed the MyAppData variable corresponding to System->Application Data Directory, but it appears to be the roaming user profile.

I would think that there would be variables for:
Local App User Data
Local App User Data (roaming)
Shared App Data

These locations are especially important when making installs for Vista.

Thanks

Did you try all the available options in Get Folder Location?

I had this issue and the solution was to check the "get for all users" option in Get Folder Location system -> application data. This way I can get the folder "C:\\ProgramData" in vista.

I have run into a similar issue. I am trying to get the 'Local User Data' folder in XP and in visa, and I can't find out how to do this. This is the folder I'm interested in:

XP: "C:\\Documents and Settings\\<username>\\Local Settings\\Application Data"
Vista: "C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local"

In .net, I can get this folder with the following code:

System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);

Thank you.
