ProgramData (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the ProgramData setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting contains a string with a maximum length of 259 characters that specifies the path to a program-data folder that meets the following criteria:
- Is on an NTFS volume.
- Is not the path of another operating system user-profile folder.
- Does not contain any serviceable components.
This setting cannot be empty.
Warning
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.
