ProgramData (Standard 7 Package Reference)

7/8/2014

The ProgramData setting specifies the path to the program-data folder.

Note

This setting should be used only in a test environment. If you change the default location of the user-profile directories or program-data folders to a volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your image. Any updates, fixes, or service packs will not be applied to the installation.
For a list of known issues with this setting, see Description of known issues with the FolderLocation settings..

Use this setting to move the program-data folder (typically %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData) to another location during Setup or when Sysprep is running. The destination path can be on a volume other than the system drive, as long as it meets the following requirements:

  • It must be on an NTFS volume.
  • It must not be the path of another operating system program-data folder.
  • It must not contain any serviceable components.

Values

Specifies the path to the program-data folder. Path_to_program_data_folder is a string with a maximum length of 259 characters.

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.
