The windows installer property reference is a good resource to know.

No, there is a standard Id:
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
      <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder">

Note: on windows xp this folder is located somewhere else which you probably 
know.

Subject: [WiX-users] Id for programdata folder

Hi guys and gals

I have just started using wix. And i'm impressed, at first it seemed quite 
daunting but i'm getting the hang of it. One thing i'm stuck on atm I have to 
copy a file into the c:/programdata/ folder. Is there a standard id for this 
folder? Or do I have to treat it as a custom folder. I'm using wix 3.7. I have 
seached on internet and found the same question but no answer.

Thanks upfront for any help you can offer.

Kind regards,

Sander Obdeijn
