%ProgramData% variable doesn't work in Windows XP

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

The variable %ProgramData% doesn' work on my computer (Windows XP SP3) unless I define this manually as a system variable. I guess that this is not what you want users need to do to make this winapp.ini (embedded) entry work

[Avast! Antivirus 5]
ID=2161
LangSecRef=3024
Detect=HKCU\Software\ALWIL Software\Avast\5.0
Default=True
FileKey1=%ProgramData%\Alwil Software\Avast5\report|avast.xsl;avast.xsl;Resident protection.txt;Simple user interface.txt;Simple user interface*.xml
FileKey2=%ProgramData%\Alwil Software\Avast5\log|*.*

See this thread http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=34454

Additionally, this path

FileKey1=%ProgramData%\Avast Software\Avast\log|*.*

in the [Avast! Antivirus 6] entry doesn't exist on my computer, although the respective Detect key is being detected

Ccleaner itself manages this variable across systems. It points to %CommonAppData% on XP systems.

In XP & also Vista & Windows 7, I believe %AppData% will do the trick.

Go to start/run & type %appdata% & hit enter.

Should work.

commonappdata and appdata are different directories
