As Gabor said,
This reference is a reference to the way normal apps should retrieve the
value of that folder name, not the way that installers should retrieve it
- they should just use the MSI property. I'm not sure why that reference
is even made in the MSI documentation - it's confusing at best, and I
think it's a bit misleading.

get targetdir?
Gabor,
Thanks again. I saw Vista when I clicked on LocalAppDataFolder property on
the page you mentioned.
The resulting page is:
