getting path of programdata in Visual Studio setup project

Question

Is there anyway I can get the path of programdata folder dynamically in a setup project in the very same way I get the path of program files folder by using the keyword [Program Files] as defaultlocation for custom folder?

Thanks

Are you asking about setup projects, or some other setup technology? — Oded

I'm asking about Visual Studio setup project. When I add a custom folder,I can set its path as [Program Files]\foldername. Sameway,how do I set the path as [ProgramData]\foldername? Is there any short form to get the actual path? — Josh

[CommonAppDataFolder] - for c:\ProgramData or "all users\application data"

[ApplicationData] - for user specific application data folder in roaming profile

[LocalApplicationData] - for user specific application data folder in local profile
