I search in MSDN, but I cannot find the path to environment variables %USERPROFILE%
How can I set the installation folder to the userprofile?
(ex:C:/users/user It is different from every user)

@Taehyun Lee It is unusual to install applications in the folder represented by %USERPROFILE%. For that reason I suggested using the LocalAppDataFolder property which resolves to a sub-folder in the user profile. For example -- C:\Users\Rlwa32\AppData\Local\

Using [%USERPROFILE] can set the path.
