You might be inventing properties - I've no idea what LocalMachine might be, but it's not a standard Windows Installer property.
The answer IS [ComputerName] as has been mentioned: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368009(v=VS.85).aspx so stick with that. Look, this thing is used in thousands of setups, it does really work, so please provide some context instead of giving up and trying something else.
