So I'll need to be careful about this depending on the > different versions of windows ... If PROGRAMDATA is defined, I would use that value. Otherwise, if ALLUSERSPROFILE is defined (and it should be), I would use %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data The other alternative is to call the SHGetFolderPath Win32 API directly, similar to what win32-dir does[1] Something else to keep in mind is that puppet only uses Dir::COMMON_APPDATA when running as "root" on Windows. When running as a non-privileged user it stores configuration data in the user's ~/.puppet directory.
